Treasury Management Specialist Lead

Hometown: Alcester, SD

Education: South Dakota State University

Local businesses are the backbone of our community, and it is my pleasure to assist business owners with questions and concerns — finding solutions together while helping you achieve your goals.

I have spent more than a decade working in financial services, which included wearing many different hats.

With a bachelor’s degree in entrepreneurial studies from SDSU, I am passionate about now wearing the hat of Treasury Management Specialist Lead and being part of a team that helps local entrepreneurs grow and improve their businesses.

As a strong believer that the more you give, the more you receive in return, my favorite FIRST Value is Stewardship. I am overjoyed to see others succeed, our community thrive, and new heights be achieved!

Living up to this commitment, I enjoy volunteering with a wide array of local organizations such as Hope Haven, the St. Francis House, and the Greater Sioux Falls Chamber of Commerce. My past involvement also includes Junior Achievement and Meals on Wheels.

Away from the office, you can find me reading, investing, trying new cuisines, collecting football cards (How ’bout those Chiefs?!), and spending time outside or with my partner, Tara.

I also love traveling, especially to visit my parents in Reno, Nevada, and have been to Brazil several times.
