Q: When did you begin working at your company?
A: I’ve been with Wildfire Credit Union since 2011.
Q: When did you become a Chamber Ambassador?
A: I became a Chamber Ambassador in 2024.
Q: What motivated you to become an Ambassador?
A: I love having the opportunity to serve in our community; to help support, meet, and learn about businesses and business owners! Having the opportunity to engage with individuals that each play an important role in our community, is wonderful!
Q: What’s the most memorable connection you’ve made as a Chamber Ambassador?
A: As I reflect back on my first year as a Chamber Ambassador, I would have to say ALL my connections were memorable, I can’t just pick one!
Q: What Chamber event do you look forward to the most and why?
A: Business After Hours- it’s a great time to see different businesses throughout the community.
Q: What’s one networking tip you’d share with new Chamber members?
A: Attend a variety of events! If attending an event that has open table seating, attempt to sit at different tables to meet different people.
Q: Tell us one fun fact about you that might surprise people.
A: I originally went to school for nursing.
Q: What was your first job?
A: I started babysitting at the age of 13. At 16, I worked as a hostess for Lone Star Steakhouse and continued to babysit.
Q: What was your dream job as a child, and how does it compare to what you’re doing now?
A: Registered Nurse -- although it’s not in the same professional field, I still find similarities between both careers. In both fields you provide personalized customer service, education, manage accounts, and follow protocols, along with many others.
Q: What’s the most adventurous thing you’ve ever done?
A: I’m not overly adventurous. I’d have to say snowmobiling on the Bay surrounded by openness. Finding our way to visit multiple towns when all we could see was snow and ice was pretty cool!
Q: What inspires or motivates you to keep giving back to the community?
A: It’s great to feel a sense of connection in the community. Realizing, a short time of giving back really goes a long way. You always feel great when you’re doing it!
