How long have you been a member of the OceanFirst Bank team?  I’ve been here just over half a year. 

What role do you play on the Bank Team? I am the Digital Banking Product Manager, which means I work on improvements for our online banking, app, and digital account opening. 

What has been your favorite volunteer activity – and why? I volunteer for a lot of history-related projects. My favorite experiences have been those that lead to a result that others can enjoy, like creating a video project, cleaning up a forgotten cemetery, preserving old documents, etc.  

What has volunteering taught you? It has made me feel more connected to the local community.

If you had to eat one meal every day for the rest of your life, what would it be? I could (and practically do) eat cereal every day. 

If you could turn into an animal, what would it be? The safe choice would be a pet dog but being a bird would be fun for a little while.  

Are you a traveler or a homebody? Homebody. I love to see new places, but I have more than enough things to keep me occupied at home.

Do you sing in the shower? In the car? Nowhere. I wouldn’t subject even myself to that.  

Are you a morning person or a night owl? Morning. My dog doesn’t give me a choice.
