The faculty were supportive, the coursework was practical, and the community was encouraging. QCC gave me the tools and momentum I needed to continue my education and eventually build a successful career in commercial banking and finance. It was truly the first step toward the leadership role I hold today.

My work involves building long-term client relationships, structuring complex financing solutions, and supporting the economic vitality of the communities we serve.

These roles allow me to give back, support youth programs, champion women in leadership, and stay connected to the community that helped shape my journey. I’m grateful for the ability to balance a fulfilling career with service, leadership, and family.
I am proud of the career I’ve built and grateful for the experiences, including QCC, that helped shape it.
