Why did you select your profession? I enjoyed accounting early on in high school and had wanted to follow in the steps of other CPAs in my family. Subsequently, at my first employer out of college I found the banking industry to be a good fit.

Where do you see yourself professionally in 10 years? I see myself still in banking with a broader scope of responsibilities and continuing in a senior leadership role.

What’s the best career advice you’ve received? Remain confident and slow down.

What is your favorite Rhode Island escape or hobby? Visiting the beautiful beaches in this state.

Is your career arc moving fast enough? Why or why not? Yes – I think it’s moving faster than I would have anticipated back when I was just beginning, but today I am very pleased to be where I am and what I am doing to further my career. •
