My lens

Where leadership, community, and strategy come into focus.

Welcome to My Lens, a collection of insights shaped by two decades in credit union leadership, marketing, and community engagement. This is where I explore the ideas, strategies, and human moments that drive meaningful impact in business and in the communities we serve.
