Helping new managers reach their full potential as a leader is my driving goal. With over 35 years of executive management experience, I love sharing my knowledge of time management, leadership, training, and compliance with the next generation of leaders. I hold the values of the cooperative movement in the highest regard and focusing my profession on the credit union industry aligns with who I am - people helping people. Currently, I work at the Mountain West Credit Union Association handling all things compliance and have earned an advanced Paralegal certification. I also own a consulting business specializing in helping office managers confidently multi-task while holding colleagues accountable for team results. While working in the credit union movement, I have had the wonderful opportunity to impact the financial well-being for members I worked with and grow the leadership potential of the staff that I worked with. I have helped grow the credit unions that I worked at in a variety of ways and enjoy sharing that knowledge with leaders of credit unions with assets under $100M. Working with other non-profits and with the city I reside in has been another joy of mine. For years I helped lead the youth in my community learn about getting involved in the local governance of the community to build a strong future. For me, the arts provide a great outlet to relieve stress. Due to this, I currently volunteer on the board of the Colorado Dance Collective, an adult repertoire company.
