Some of my favorite things about working at Bell are the collaborative approach and positive attitude of everyone here. My role involves supporting the Twin Cities banking team on credit relationships and assisting with managing portfolio risk. I work to support clients by helping the banking team respond to credit lending requests quickly and efficiently.

Since I have a background in underwriting and credit analysis, I like digging in to the numbers and structure on credit opportunities. I also enjoy the relationship-building aspects of my role and getting to understand clients’ businesses better.

Originally from Woodhaven, Mich., I earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti and a Master of Business Administration from Wayne State University in Detroit. Starting my banking career in 2002, I have worked in credit analysis, underwriting and relationship management.

I live in Edina, Minn., and when not working enjoy running, biking, hiking, playing music and trying out restaurants and breweries. I like taking on a good challenge and have a goal to run a marathon every couple of years.
