Decades of expertise guiding cannabis entrepreneurs and law firms through complex banking and financing needs to support their growth and long-term success.
With a BA in Foreign Languages, specializing in Russian Language and Literature from Washington State University in 1988, I began my journey in the banking industry as a customer service representative at Seafirst Bank in Seattle, WA, in 1992. Over the years, I have worked in nearly every frontline position in banking for various institutions across Washington State, gaining a wealth of experience in personal and commercial banking.
In 2015, I joined Salal Credit Union’s Business Services group, bringing my extensive background in working with law firms as part of a private banking team. I have played a pivotal role in developing our law firm banking and commercial lending programs during my tenure.
My current focus is helping entrepreneurs in the Cannabis industry navigate the intricate landscape of business banking. I assist these innovators in understanding banking complexities and securing financing for crucial upgrades, such as equipment enhancements or building purchases, supporting their growth and long-term success.
When I am not working, I enjoy cooking, gardening, and hosting dinner parties with my husband at our home in West Seattle. Additionally, we love traveling the world to explore different cultures’ art, literature, and music.
