In my role as Twin Cities president and banking director at Bell Bank, I oversee commercial, community and private banking services, as well as the treasury management team, in the Twin Cities and Duluth markets. I enjoy helping my team serve our customers, while also challenging and inspiring teammates to advance in their careers.

Bell Bank has been an amazing place for me to grow as well. Prior to joining Bell, I built my banking career on lending to small businesses. It was incredibly rewarding for me to see how my work could positively impact our community and contribute to the success of so many small businesses.

I joined Bell Bank in 2012, shortly after the opening of Bell’s first branch in the Twin Cities. As part of a small team, we built our presence in the Twin Cities, one transaction at a time. I loved the opportunity to help build things from the ground up in this market, and it’s been exciting to be part of additional market expansion as well (including my hometown of Duluth!).

During my career, I’ve been humbled and honored to have received recognition including being named to Minnesota Business magazine’s Real Power 50, the Minneapolis-St. Paul Business Journal’s Women in Business award and 40 Under 40 lists, Finance & Commerce magazine’s Top Women in Finance “Circle of Excellence,” and TeamWomen’s Uncharted Territory Award. I share these awards with my colleagues and mentors, without whom I would not be where I am today.

I am a proud graduate of the University of Minnesota. Away from the office, I cherish the time my husband and I get to spend raising our children. I also enjoy playing volleyball or doing anything active and going up north with family and friends.
