Meet Beth

Experienced Banker in Raleigh

Beth has over 30 years of banking experience, starting in commercial lending after earning her undergraduate and graduate degrees from Gannon University. Originally from Pennsylvania, she moved to North Carolina early in her career and began her family. While balancing her career, motherhood and volunteering, Beth spent time growing her credit expertise in Portfolio Manager and Credit Analyst roles. In recent years, Beth has returned to commercial lending with a renewed passion for building relationships. When it comes to banking, Beth believes that it is about building a long-lasting relationship that revolves around trust, and she enjoys making the process easier for her clients. At Southern First, she is excited to grow our presence in the Cary market. Beth serves on the board of the Cary Chamber of Commerce and The Carying Place, which helps provide financial literacy and transitional housing to working families. Beth has two daughters: a college graduate working in the insurance industry in Washington, DC, and a college student on the dance team at NC State. Outside of supporting their pursuits and her work at the bank, she enjoys running, playing racquet sports, spending time at the beach and attending concerts.
