About
I am a commercial banking professional with deep expertise in structuring and managing complex credit relationships across the Hudson Valley with a strong focus in Commercial Real estate and an expanding portfolio in C&I Lending, I bring an analytical, relationship driven approach to helping businesses grow, stabilize and scale with confidence.
In my role, I am known for my ability to translate financial data into clear strategy, anticipate risk, and craft lending solutions that align with long- term business goals. I thrive at the intersection of numbers and people-building trust, understanding each client's story, and guiding them through decisions that shape their future. My work is rooted in clarity, transparency and a genuine commitment to helping businesses thrive in an ever- changing economic climate.
Beyond banking, I am deeply involved in community leadership. I serve with organizations such as Leadership Orange, Suny Orange Foundation and the OC Chamber. I am passionate about expanding educational access, strengthening local leadership pipelines, and supporting the economic vitality of the region. I believe in using my professional skills to elevate the communities where in live and work, and I approach every board role with intention and integrity.
Whether I am structuring a loan, presenting to a board, or supporting a non-profit initiative, I lead with the same values; connection, service, accountability and growth.
I am driven by the philosophy that knowledge empowers people- and that strong relationships build strong communities.
