What I enjoy most about working at Bell Bank are the people! I am honored that my clients consider me a trusted advisor, letting me help in their planning through the ups and downs of business cycles.

Focusing on commercial lending for small- to medium-sized businesses, I have a strong background in credit and can easily identify risks and figure out solutions to problems. I also understand the financials and operations of most businesses. In my role, I love advising customers on issues they cannot figure out alone – and I especially excel at finding win-win solutions to complicated deals.

A Yuma, Ariz., native, I earned a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Arizona State University in Tempe, Ariz.

My husband, Ken, and I live in Gilbert, Ariz., and have 2 daughters and a golden retriever. Outside of work, I am a soccer mom who loves to watch her kids play! I also like to spend time exercising, including walking, running, hiking and working out.
