I enjoy turning vision into reality. I work to bring together the necessary resources to make it happen, through creative financing solutions. As a disciplined self-starter, for the last twenty years I have worked remotely with success at least one day a week: the pandemic presented an opportunity to reduce my carbon footprint while increasing my timeliness and availability to the communities and constituents I serve.

In my role as a Commercial Lender at TD Bank, I worked with a number of companies in various growth stages, matching their capital needs with their vision for the future, via expansion, acquisition or vertical integration. As the leader of fundraising at a nonprofit, it was a similar premise, matching a donor's capacity for financial support of the organization with her/his vision for the future of the organization or broader cause area. While at MassDevelopment, the State's Economic Development Finance Agency and Land Bank, I worked with many of those leaders in the for-profit and non-profit sectors, to address blight, to improve/increase the housing stock and to support the Massachusetts employers who create the job opportunities necessary to retain and attract talented residents. Now with Rockland Trust, I am capitalizing on that range of experience, supporting commercial customers on their financing needs. Through it all, the trusted relationships I seek and build are all done in the spirit of collaboration, inclusivity and respect.

Economic opportunity, food access/insecurity, housing and addressing the wealth gap are areas of special interest to me. Lastly, mentoring has been hugely beneficial to me, personally and professionally: as such, I am committed to paying it forward, as a formal mentor to two women who are early stage in their respective careers and also as a volunteer board/committee member with organizations whose missions align with my areas of interest.

I was a Brownie and then a Girl Scout, thrilled to be serving on the Board of Directors for the Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts. Encouraging girls and young women to be bold and to dream big is important to me.
