What makes you enjoy working at Banner? I am so proud to be working for such an excellent company! Banner has a stellar reputation across the state. Banner provides excellent technical expertise to our clients. Since joining Banner earlier this year, I have really appreciated the welcoming spirit I have experienced from everyone! This is a fun place to work, and it is very fulfilling professionally! I love Banner’s approach of putting people first!

What is the best piece of advice you've ever been given? Become an engineer! My dad was a high school math and science teacher, so a STEM education was practically mandatory. I remember that I was young enough when he started talking to me about it that my first answer to him was, "But Daddy, I don't want to drive trains!"

What inspires you most about your profession? Service. I spent over 30 years in public service with the SD Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources. I loved helping people find ways to make South Dakota a better place to live and work. I am so grateful that Banner has given me the opportunity to continue to serve SD's communities!

If you were a superhero..., what superpower would you have? Intelligence! Iron Man and Batman are my favorite superheroes, and that is their #1 superpower (well, that and a lot of money)!
