My primary focus as a leader is the colleague and client experience. I will always lead with a people-first mentality. I am an energetic, enthusiastic, and strong leader with skills in coaching and development, influencing others, and motivating individuals to meet and exceed all performance targets and customer expectations. Proven results in making an impact, team building, partner relationships, problem solving, and strategic planning. With thirty years in the financial industry, with experience in commercial and retail banking, strategic initiatives, project management, and one bank partnerships, I have a proven track record of success in implementation, delivery, results, and creating top-performing teams. I create a followership and loyalty amongst teams with a genuine and authentic approach in all I do. I have had the honor of being chosen on multiple occasions for distinguished organizational awards for performance and delivery. When not at work, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, many pets (dogs and goats), and traveling.
