A bit about me

Born and raised in Minnesota, I live in a suburb of St. Paul with my husband and our two boys. We spend a lot of time together outdoors, attending live music and community events, and traveling to new places. Outside of work, I am a dedicated member of the local Citizens Health Group and on the weekends can often be found working on the latest DIY home improvement project.

Synchrony has provided many opportunities to challenge me out of my comfort zone – which is where personal and professional growth happens. I have taken on interesting stretch projects, made connections across the business, and expanded my understanding of how my efforts impact the broader business.

My current role requires thinking strategically about the future and the external Home Improvement marketplace. I enjoy thinking about ways to innovate and align with partners. In the world of installed HVAC equipment, many consumers make these purchases out of need and urgency – (the furnace is out and it’s 10 degrees outside!) The financing products we offer make a tangible difference in people’s lives.
