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

Systems analyst Najuf Malik is from Brookfield and recently graduated from UW-Madison with a degree in computer science. “I am obsessed with cats, and I own an obscene amount of cat paraphernalia — currently, my cubicle is decked out with all of my cat-themed desk decor,” she says. But there’s a hitch: “I’m violently allergic to cats. One time I cuddled with my brother’s cat and 30 minutes later, I couldn’t breathe and my eyes were swollen shut. I didn’t care, though, because I got to cuddle with a cat!”

Pewaukee teller Lily Schwigel is from Oconomowoc and is studying accounting at Waukesha County Technical College. She has two cats and loves to dance. “I have danced since I was 3, on competitive dance teams, as well as training with the Milwaukee Ballet School & Academy,” she says. “I enjoy every kind of dance, but ballet is definitely my strong suit. I just love the technicality, strength, and poise that come with it.”
