As steps into her new role, WBA asked her a few questions to help members learn more about her.
Can you share a bit about your experience in banking?
My banking journey began at National Bank of Commerce (NBC) in 2011, when I was hired to learn payroll. Over the past nearly 15 years, I’ve grown with the organization, serving in a variety of HR roles. In 2019, I joined NBC’s executive leadership team, where I continue to advocate for the value of HR in driving organizational success.
What you are looking forward to most during the year ahead as chair of the WBA Human Resources Committee?
Since joining the WBA HR Committee in 2021, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with a dedicated group of HR professionals who are passionate about supporting Wisconsin’s banking community. As chair, I’m most looking forward to expanding the tools, resources, and peer connections that help HR leaders navigate challenges and build trust within their organizations. I also see a meaningful opportunity to elevate the voice of HR in community banks, particularly in institutions where HR is not yet represented at the executive level. By highlighting the strategic value HR brings, we can help shape stronger, more resilient organizations.
Your favorite quote?
I don’t know if it’s my favorite quote, but a quote that has stuck with me is from Jack Welch: “Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others.”
Your favorite podcast or binge-worthy series?
I don’t watch much TV, and when I am walking or driving, I tend to turn off the noise and let my mind wander – or I’ll listen to music. That said, I’ve enjoyed a few episodes of The Mel Robbins Podcast. I appreciate how she blends practical tools with research-backed insights. As for TV, I did watch and loved Ted Lasso – the leadership lessons and heart in that show resonated with me.
