While at the Michigan Credit Union League I acquired extensive experience in the positions I’ve held. I gained valuable skills in Political Affairs and lobbying on behalf of the league before moving into regulatory affairs where I helped Michigan Credit Unions with regulatory advocacy and answering their compliance questions. I developed a domestic violence recovery loan program which was published by Filene.
