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

West Allis teller Andrea Bahena is from Saint Francis and previously worked for Paradies Lagardère at General Mitchell International Airport, working at gift shops throughout the concourses. She enjoys playing video games and streams her games when she’s not working. “I’ve played since I was little and have been stuck on them ever since!” Andrea says. “My all-time favorite is Donkey Kong 64, and the game I’m currently immersed in is Apex Legends.”

Caroline Jorgensen, regional account manager in Indirect Lending, is from Detroit and previously worked as an area sales manager for Global Lending Services. “I love vacationing by the beach or ocean and exploring sea caves and the beauty of our earth and all it has to offer,” she says. “The best beaches I’ve explored are Laguna Beach and 1,000 Steps Beach — there is a cave you can go through at low tide to see two secret tide pools. It’s paradise.”

Brookfield Capitol personal banker Sophia Nuckols is originally from Minster, Ohio, and moved to Milwaukee in 2013. She, her husband, and their 1-year-old daughter now live in Waukesha. She was previously part of the Milwaukee private banking team at Johnson Financial Group. “I design greeting cards in my free time,” Sophia says. “The pressure is definitely on to get my Christmas cards done in time!”

And Jim Swenson, also a regional account manager in Indirect Lending, is originally from Minnesota, but has lived in Wisconsin since 1990. He previously worked as an account manager for Credit Acceptance. “I have been in and around the retail automotive business since 1997,” he says. He adds: “I have also driven a car in a demolition derby. While I didn’t win, it was a blast. It was like being in 15 car accidents in about five minutes. Crossed that one off the bucket list, so probably wouldn’t do it again!”
