Supplier Diversity
has a new Director

Born in Texas and transplanted to Wisconsin, growing up amidst the sprawling fields of a 10,000-acre potato farm in central Wisconsin, I learned the values of hard work, dedication, and community from an early age. My journey led me to the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, where I earned my bachelor?s degree, setting the foundation for my future endeavors.

With over two decades of experience in the banking sector, I have honed my skills and expertise, navigated the intricate landscape of finance while fostering connections within my community. A steadfast commitment to both professional growth and community advancement led me to pursue further education, culminating in the achievement of my master?s degree from Edgewood College.

Outside of the world of finance and academia, my heart finds its home in my family. As a devoted spouse and proud parent of three beautiful daughters, I am driven by the desire to create a brighter future for them and for the diverse tapestry of individuals that make our great state what it is.

My unwavering dedication to both community and progress forms the cornerstone of my endeavors. Through my work and personal interactions, I strive to contribute to the continued growth and prosperity of this exceptional state we call home.
