Barb was born and raised in Puyallup, Washington, and graduated from Puyallup High School. After graduating from high school, she attended Green River Community College and studied Criminal Justice, specifically Forensic Sciences. However, her path took her into the food service industry, and after years of hard work, Barb opened her own catering business and bartending school in Spokane, Washington.

Barb moved back to the Puget Sound in 2003 and made a change in careers by going into the financial industry. She began as a merchant teller and worked her way up. “I believe you can gain a lot of experience, knowledge, and respect by starting at entry level,” she stated. Barb has been in Cash Management for the last 18 years, but her passion remains the same: helping people whether they are co-workers or clients.

Barb’s late sister, who passed after a long battle with cancer, taught her how to be the best version of herself and that each person makes an impact in the world. She tries every day to live positively-even during challenging times-like her sister did.

When Barb isn’t working, she enjoys spending time with her husband of 37 years, their daughter, and their two grandsons. She also loves reading true crime and mystery books, listening to music, and spending time at the beach in any weather.
