Give us the elevator speech about your project (as in how would you describe your project to someone you meet in an elevator?):
What happens when Google and Apple collide? The answer is the best technology and culture meet to create credit union greatness! Employees are developed, innovation takes place, and members are served in the most convenient manner. My project seeks to bring the best of both worlds together to move our credit union forward.

Online voters and a panel of past finalists narrowed the CUES Next Top Credit Union Exec field from 20 to the Top 15 applicants. The challenge, held in conjunction with DDJ Myers and administered by Currency, searches for emerging leaders age 35 and under from within the credit union industry. The Top 15 will blog about their project. And to provide additional value to the competition experience, they’ll each receive an executive coaching session from DDJ Myers, a CUES Supplier member and strategic provider. A judging panel of two CUES members and Deedee Myers of DDJ Myers will then score the Top 15’s applications and blog posts, narrowing the competition to five finalists. The five finalists will receive additional coaching, airfare, accommodation and registration to CUES’ CEO/Executive Team Network™, Nov. 8-11 in Scottsdale, Ariz., where they will give their final presentations. The 2015 CUES Next Top Credit Union Exec will receive further coaching, airfare, accommodation and registration for two CUES’ CEO Institutes, a total prize package valued at $20,000 |
What is your long-term career goal?
My long-term career goal is retirement! Actually my long-term career goal is to be a successful CEO of a smaller credit union anywhere from $50-$150 million in assets.
Fill in the dots: The future of credit unions will be bright if …
… we get back to the main reason credit unions began, which is serving the underserved, financial literacy, and community outreach.
What my generation brings to the credit union movement is …
… a breath of fresh air to the credit union movement as well as much needed passion!
People consider me a leader because …
… I am more worried about the development of my team and staff members than my own recognition.
Who is your hero and why?
My hero is my husband who has been my rock for 14 years. He has literally seen me through “thick and thin.” I would not be half the person I am today if that wonderful man did not find me and choose to love me unconditionally.
What is your favorite CUES member benefit? Or, if you are a new CUES NextGen member, what benefit are you most looking forward to using?
I am looking forward to using the Webinars. I love a good webinar!
