Growing up locally, Melissa was exposed to agriculture and commercial business early in life through her family’s grain and logging operations. Inspired by these experiences, and as an active partner in her own farming enterprise, Melissa brings her passion for the ag community to her Account Manager role at SVCU.

As a member of our Ag and Commercial Account Manager team, Melissa looks forward to meeting with members and working with you to achieve your financial goals.

I’ve been employed with SVCU as an Agricultural/Commercial Account Manager since May 2018, with a primary focus on the Ag sector.  Previously, I spent 26 years employed in a small business lending role with a Provincial Crown Corporation (CEDF).  Our family have been Swan River residents for over 25 years, relocating from Thompson in 1995.  I’m a graduate of the University of Manitoba, Bachelor of Commerce (1988).

I enjoy working with local agricultural producers and small business owners to come up with financial solutions to meet their needs.  If you are already enjoying the benefits of Swan Valley Credit Union membership, thank you for your patronage and we look forward to continuing our relationship for many years to come.  If you are considering alternatives to your current financial institution, I would welcome the opportunity to discuss your needs and put together a plan that best suits you.
