Unbreakable. 🦋 Live your best life and be kind along the way! Live with intention and authenticity!

I am currently seeking a new career opportunity with an organization who aligns with my core values of integrity, kindness, and authenticity. 

Although my career to date has been in the financial services industry, I am open to exploring new possibilities which incorporate my passions and leverage my strengths, my skill sets, and my natural abilities. 

For more than the past 18 years, I was grateful to have worked at CAFCU, a not-for-profit credit union headquartered in the Chicagoland area. I believe in the credit union movement of “people helping people” by spreading knowledge about financial wellness to others. 

In my most recent role, I was responsible for executing strategies and coordinating efforts pertaining to Business Development for 20 branches throughout the United States. During my tenure, I was fortunate to work in several departments including Business Development, Branch Operations, Risk, Real Estate, Member Solutions and Lending. 

As a former member of Senior Management, I was highly involved in helping to execute and achieve the Strategic Initiatives for the organization. I was also a founding member of the Employee Engagement Committee, a member of the organization’s Rate Committee, and a member of the Membership Committee. I received the President’s Award for managerial excellence in 2013.

My personal platform is living life kindly, authentically, and with integrity. Kindness is free and contagious—and so simple to do! It breaks down barriers that exist amongst us all. It’s okay that we are different—we should each be our authentic selves—but we must find a way to coexist.

Born and raised in the Chicagoland suburbs and I wouldn't have it any other way! I am proud to have grown up in such a cultured area that has given me more than enough opportunity to grow and connect with people from all walks of life. 

Financial fitness has changed my life for the better, and I am excited to spread the joy that it has brought me, to others.
