Born in Oakland Ca and raised in the Bay Area my entire life, I consider myself a true native. After my school years, I began my Banking and Finance career with Bank of the West in the mid seventies. I then followed a career path that gravitated more towards financial services and managed a local finance office for a number of years. This led into a regional position that incorporated training and business development covering 12 western states. This company was purchased and eventually dissolved and I found myself in need of a new place of employment to call home. Going back to the basics, the branch banking industry was calling. Ten years ago I found myself back in an arena I always enjoyed. When the Castro Valley office of Bank of the West had a new opening in Feb 2002, I happily accepted the position of V.P., Bank Manager where I still work today.

I currently hold the position of President of the Castro Valley Chamber of Commerce . Along with this I am an active member of the Castro Valley Sunrise Rotary Club and on the Executive Board of “The Kids Breakfast Club” (TKBC) a non-profit children's nutrition and education program for low to moderate income families.

I enjoy people, reading, music and the great outdoors. Among my more unusual hobbies is organizing a rodeo parade group of about 200 people for an annual camping event and rodeo. I also write and perform personalized wedding ceremonies on request.

My greatest accomplishment is my family. I am a wife, mother and grandmother.
