Get to know me

As a First Citizens middle market relationship manager, it's important to invest in understanding your business, strategies and key objectives. An established process and a skilled team of specialists help me tailor solutions to fit you and your organization. Clients appreciate our trusted partnership and collaboration in planning for long-term success.

My career includes over 20 years of commercial and corporate banking experience, with more than 15 years spent in the San Diego market. Throughout my career, I’ve had the pleasure of working with clients from a variety of industries, such as Manufacturing/Distribution, Government/Defense, Professional Services and Healthcare. My areas of expertise include working capital financing, term financing for growth and acquisitions and real estate financing.

I earned my Master of Science degree in Business Economics from NHH (Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration) Bergen, Norway, and my B.A. in Economics from Berufsakademie Berlin, Germany.

My spouse and I are proud parents of two school aged children. I’m passionate about education and am currently serving on the board of directors for the Del Mar Schools Educational Foundation, supporting STEAM+ education for elementary school aged children.
