1. Where do you work?
I work at National City. My official title is a mouthful: wholesale banking portfolio manager. A lot of people get that confused with investment portfolios, but I actually manage the middle market wholesale banking loans in St. Louis. Basically, I partner with our relationship managers and their clients in maintaining the client/loan relationships – risk management, specifically financial analysis, loan extensions and approvals. I also work with analysts, developing their credit skills with a path towards lending.
2. How did you get started in banking?
I’ve been with National City for 12 years since graduating from college. I have my undergrad in finance from Kent State in Ohio, and an MBA focused in finance and international business from Case Western Reserve in Cleveland.
3. How long have you been in St. Louis?
I’ve been in St. Louis for five years. I moved down here from Ohio with National City with the Allegiant Bank merger. I’ve gotten used to the sunnier days here – it was really bright the first couple of months I moved here. Cleveland can be very cloudy! I enjoy all the free events here - there are a lot and that’s really awesome! Click to learn more
