What have been your biggest professional accomplishments so far?
My biggest professional accomplishments are centered around loyalty, growth and driving continuous improvement. Over my tenure, I helped grow the credit union from $38 million to over $170 million in assets, navigating challenges and embracing change to stay relevant.
These experiences advanced my skills, the organization, and the community we proudly serve.
What’s the next big goal you want to accomplish professionally?
My next big professional goal is to empower and lead women with the goal of lifting economic resilience. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming and unique financial services experience that helps women of all backgrounds and their allies, achieve financial independence.
What’s one of the biggest professional challenges you’ve overcome?
Earlier in my career, balancing the self-inflicted and societal expectations of ‘doing it all’ as a professional and a young mother was quite a challenge to overcome. Having to put my best self forward professionally and personally was draining. Now, I try to assist younger employees/mothers in finding that balance.
How are you involved in the community?
I am passionate about youth financial literacy and seek ways to support educators in their efforts to give students a strong financial foundation. I regularly teach financial literacy classes at local high schools and participate in multiple financial literacy educational fairs for Connecticut’s high school students.
What legacy do you want to leave after your career is over?
I want to leave a legacy of economic empowerment for women, where my efforts transform financial independence for generations. I work to leave behind a thriving, values-driven credit union that reshapes access to capital, fosters resilience and champions equity.
My impact will have strengthened my community, employees and members.
