1. What is your current role and department? I’ve been with Chelsea Groton Bank for 8 years and recently became the Regional Sales and Service Manager for the Norwich Region.
   
2. What do you love most about working at Chelsea Groton Bank?
   I love the culture and the team spirit of Chelsea Groton. I love that the bank prioritizes the commitment to the communities we serve. And that extends to our team members, who are active in their communities and are dedicated to helping their customers reach their financial goals.
   
3. What are you most proud of in your work at Chelsea?
   I love helping team members achieve their goals. There is nothing better than being part of someone’s career growth.
   
4. Tell us a little bit about your life outside of work.
   My husband and I have been married 18 years and we have 3 beautiful children; 14- and 11-year-old daughters and an 8-year-old son; and 2 dogs, Odie, a Mini Schnauzer, and Roxie, a Border Collie Mix. We have a very busy household full of after school activities but wouldn’t have it any other way. My husband and I love to stay active, and it’s definitely rubbed off on to the kids. We love outdoor activities, hiking, skiing, exploring new places, travelling, and spending a lot of time with friends and family. We recently took a family trip to Florida and got to go jet skiing, where we got to follow some baby dolphins around, went zip lining and more!
   
5. What are some things you like to do to support the community?
   I love volunteering and getting to know non-profits in the area and finding ways to connect them to the resources we offer at the bank. I also love being involved with the local Chambers of Commerce and connecting with local people and businesses.
