Profile

Joining the Vermont team at Bank of America as the Senior Vice President and Senior Relationship Manager within its Business Banking Division, marks a thrilling chapter in my career. Drawing on my extensive banking experience of over two decades, I am eager to continue fostering and developing partnerships with mid-sized businesses and community leaders across Vermont. My commitment to the Vermont banking community has always been to cultivate meaningful relationships by providing exceptional service, knowledge, and unparalleled capabilities.

Before my tenure at Bank of America, I dedicated nearly 13-years to KeyBank in Vermont, culminating in my role as Vermont Market President and Business Banking SVP. There, I honed my skills as a relationship manager within the Middle Market and Business Banking sectors.  I previously led KeyBank’s branch retail network across the state as the local leader and director.

In my new capacity at Bank of America, my aim is to offer a comprehensive global banking framework to my clients, where I will be the foremost contact, offering local insights and facilitating access to cutting-edge solutions designed to meet the evolving needs of businesses. My collaboration with a core team of specialists is focused on delivering strategic insights and financial resources to both private and public companies with annual revenues between $5 Million and $100 Million.

Supported by one of the country’s leading banks, my role allows me to connect clients with top-tier wealth management partners for premier advisory services, comprehensive succession planning resources, and global network and industry expertise.

A Vermont native, I earned my Bachelor of Science and MBA from Champlain College, along with a graduate certificate in Advanced Management and undergraduate certificates in Business Management and Human Resource Management. I actively participate in the Vermont Bankers Association's Commercial Lending Committee and have served on the board of the Burlington Rotary Club. My family and I call Colchester, VT, our home.
