At first glance, you might perceive me as someone who fits the mold of a typical middle-aged manager. And perhaps in some ways, I do embody those characteristics. After all, I hold a position of responsibility as the manager of the Operational Center of Excellence Group at a prominent regional bank. In this role, I oversee a team of dedicated professionals, that focus on developing automated solutions for processes around the bank.
But there’s more to me than meets the eye. Even though I’ve worked my way up to an SVP position at the bank I rarely talk to people about that. In fact, I don’t think the majority of my family even know my title or what I do at the bank. While I feel like I’m pretty good at my job, it isn’t my true passion. Beyond my professional endeavors, I harbor a deep passion for both travel and finance. That is what you are most likely to hear me talk about. I often feel like I am a human ATM, dispensing valuable insights and advice on both financial matters and travel experiences in equal measure.

Exploring new places, immersing myself in different cultures, and embarking on thrilling adventures have shaped my worldview and added richness to my life.
