My mission is to empower Vermont businesses with bold ideas, strategic insight, and trusted relationships—offering personalized banking solutions that fuel growth, spark innovation, and create lasting impact in the communities we call home.

About Me

Thrilled to return to my roots in Vermont banking. I joined Bank of America in December of 2023, as SVP, Senior Relationship Manager for Business Banking—a role that lets me do what I love: building lasting partnerships that drive real impact. With nearly 25-years in banking and a track record of helping Vermont businesses grow, I’m here to offer innovative, personalized support backed by the power of a global platform. At KeyBank, I led the Vermont market and helped countless local businesses thrive through bold ideas and deep connection. Now, I bring that same energy and vision to my work at Bank of America.

My approach has always been relationship-first and future-focused—whether I’m helping a fourth-generation manufacturer navigate succession planning, or connecting a fast-growing tech company to capital that matches their ambition. I’m proud to partner with clients across Vermont, not just as a banker, but as a trusted advocate for their success. As a Champlain College grad, community member, and generational Vermonter, this work is personal—and it’s never been more exciting.
