It is my pleasure to serve the financial needs of people in the Rochester, MN community and surrounding areas. My experience in the financial industry started in 2006 and I became a Wealth Management Banker in 2015.

I want to make managing your finances as easy as possible for you. As your Wealth Management Banker, I will partner with an investment professional to bring you a holistic approach to financial management. We will collaborate to understand your financial situation and propose personalized strategies to help you work toward your financial goals.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and 2 daughters. We enjoy attending Minnesota State University, Mankato, Maverick Hockey games and traveling.
