About Our Guest:

I started my banking career in 2002 and have extensive experience in credit management and loan production. While most of my career has been in commercial banking, I have worked in SBA lending since 2015 and joined Huntington Bank in 2020. I'm excited to work with Huntington to help small businesses achieve their overall financial goals.

As an SBA Specialist, I use my experience to help small businesses accomplish their financial objectives. I specialize in various SBA lending types, including mergers and acquisitions, debt consolidation and restructuring, real estate acquisition, construction financing, and equipment purchase. My specialty is helping my clients understand the transaction's pros and cons and helping them determine the best way to proceed.

I have an MBA in Financial Management from Northcentral University and a BBA degree from Mississippi State University, emphasizing banking, finance, marketing, and management.
