Directly responsible for all wealth management and Preferred Services private banking operations, I work diligently with a small group of Preferred Services banking clients daily to ensure their cash management and lending needs are met. The combination of having a positive attitude, high energy level and a strong understanding of competitive banking strategies are all driving forces for me to ensure the needs of our clients are always taken care of. It is my job to walk alongside you as I understand your story. Learning and tailoring your financial plan to allow you to get back to the things you enjoy most is my top priority.

With nearly two decades of financial experience with Interra, you will find my vast range of knowledge, creativity and banking expertise a great comfort in assisting you with your needs.

I have a variety of enthusiasms – with the primary common theme to help build and strengthen relationships. As the preferred services specialist, I am invested in providing exceptional, trustworthy service to ensure our client’s financial needs are met. My aim is to listen and learn about your goals, so I’m able to offer a personalized experience that keeps you top-of-mind.
After competing in freestyle skiing at the 2018 Olympics, I studied public relations at Utah State University and have dedicated my career to prioritizing client experience across various industries. Since my background has revolved around relationship-based roles for 6 years, I value creating enjoyable interactions and being a problem solver when challenges arise. I strive to improve everyday by keeping in mind my favorite quote by Richard Branson, “If your dreams don’t scare you, they aren’t big enough.” 

Born and raised in Park City, Utah, I currently reside in Granger, Indiana with my husband, Zach. Outside of work, you can find me walking our dog or playing golf.
