It’s always exciting to add new members to our team. Here are some of the fresh faces at North Shore Bank.

Wauwatosa teller Jessica Dalba is from Pewaukee and was previously pet care department manager for PetSmart. “It was stressful, but it was awesome!” she says. “I learned so much about all different types of animals, and I even fell in love with a few. I thought it was super neat to watch them grow and find their forever homes!” Jessica says she goes camping nearly every weekend during the summer, and likes fishing and going on adventures with her dog.

Traveling teller Bret Gagliano is from Milwaukee. He says, “A kind of interesting thing about me is that I went something like five years without a cell phone. Also, when I’m having a snack like cookies, I usually eat them in even numbers. A bit eccentric, I realize!”

Ashwaubenon teller Charronda Nelson is originally from Memphis, Tennessee, and has lived in Wisconsin for nine years. She previously worked for David’s Bridal. Charronda says, “I love scary movies and popcorn. I don’t usually scare easy at movies, so it’s fun to see which ones will scare me.” Her favorites are Halloween and Jeepers Creepers.

Online banking supervisor Kristine Pappa is from Lake Mills and previously worked at Home Savings Bank in Madison. Kristine has four kids, two grandkids, two dogs, and two cats. “I like to cook barbecue on a pellet smoker — I make a mean smoked brisket and pulled pork!” she says. “I also enjoy baking cookies and cakes.” She also likes relaxing with her family and fishing. “I like to fish for crappie and bluegill — as long as someone is with me to bait the hook and take the fish off after I catch it!”

Sister Bay teller Tina Peterson relocated to Door County from Chicago, where she was an executive director for Empire Beauty Schools. “It’s been a big adjustment moving from a big city to a very rural area of Door County,” she says. “Love it, though!”

MLK Drive teller supervisor Breanna Rooney is from Milwaukee and previously worked as a branch supervisor at Guardian Credit Union. She has two guinea pigs, Benji and Theodore.

Howard-Suamico teller Roberta Strazishar was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. Her family moved to West Allis when she was 17, and she lived there until she got married, when she moved to the Green Bay area. “I have now been living in the Village of Howard for 30 years and I love it!” she says. Roberta was a teller at another financial institution for 17 years. She lives with her daughter and three dogs, the Muttly Crew (Bandit the wire-haired dachshund, Barkley the Jack Russell/rat terrier, and Molly the Maltipoo), and loves to garden, volunteer with her church’s music ministry, be outdoors, and spend time with her family. “I love growing flowers and Wisconsin native plants.”

Customer assistance rep Angela Trantow was born and raised in Milwaukee and lives in West Allis. She previously worked at TCF Bank as a supervisor for eight and a half years. Angela loves Disney and has been to Disney World 15 times since she was 5 years old. “My favorite ride is probably It’s a Small World, because it is a classic!” she says. “No matter how many times you ride it, there is always something you missed or never saw there before! The new Pandora Rivers of Light is pretty cool, too!” She adds, “My 20-month-old daughter may be more obsessed than I am!”
