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

Traveling teller Sarah DeChambre was born and raised in Sturgeon Bay. (“I opened my first-ever bank account at Branch 42!” she says.) For the last nine years, she worked as a social worker in Milwaukee and Racine counties; she worked with a variety of populations, from children and families, to the elderly, people with mental illness, and younger inmates in prison. Sarah says: “Thirteen years ago, I fell out of a golf cart and got the pleasure of being flown in a Flight for Life helicopter.” She was conscious, but doesn’t remember much beyond not wanting to open her eyes. “I know I rode, though, because I got a ‘free’ T-shirt,” she adds. “I now volunteer my time facilitating support groups for others who have survived traumatic brain injuries.”

Carolyn Lyrenmann is now our area branch manager for the Forest Home and Southridge offices. She is from Muskego and was previously a business banking and branch center manager with PNC Bank. Her 14-year-old son AJ is a regional championship long-track speed skater, and they get to work at the Olympic trials in January 2018. “I started taking him ice skating in February of 2016 at the Pettit National Ice Center in Milwaukee,” she says. “He could barely balance, but I think he was really intrigued by all of the speed skating Olympic stats they had posted there, so he started watching videos on You Tube about speed skating. By summer he was begging me for a pair of speed skates.”

Commercial portfolio analyst Taylor Thering is from Spring Green and just graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He was previously an analyst intern at UBS Financial. He once shot hoops with Milwaukee Bucks player Giannis Antetokounmpo. “I have some friends who live in Oak Creek, and we were outside playing basketball at a park near this gym that Giannis goes to by himself to shoot around at,” Taylor explains. “He was walking by, heading to the gym, and stopped and shot hoops with us for about 10 minutes or so.”

Forest Home teller Chyloe Vigil is from Milwaukee and previously worked as a cosmetics consultant at the Boston Store in Southridge. Chyloe says, “I like to do special-effects makeup during the Halloween season.” The most fun makeup job she’s done for somebody was a female Mad Hatter.
