I was born and raised in Fayette County, Illinois.  I started my banking career in 1998 as a teller, moved to a customer service representative position in 1999, then worked in loan administration in 2006.  I have been a loan originator since 2021.  I have been married to my husband Michael for 31 years and we have one son.  I enjoy camping, crafts, and spending time with family and our beagle puppy.
