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

Northside teller Samantha Mickelson is from Bristol and previously worked at Olive Garden — “mostly for the breadsticks, of course,” she says. An avid concertgoer, she most recently saw Kiss in March and is going to see the Jonas Brothers in September. Of her favorite concerts, she says: “The first was one at Alpine Valley, where I saw Mötley Crüe open for Kiss; and the other one was the Fourth of July a few years ago at Summerfest, when Alice Cooper opened for Mötley Crüe. I’m sure you notice my two favorites include one band: my favorite, Mötley Crüe.”

Northland teller Alyssa Taylor is from Princeton and recently moved to Appleton. She was previously an assistant manager at Family Video and is also a student at UW-Oshkosh, working on a degree in fine arts with a 2-D emphasis. “I am obsessed with Christmas to the point of having a holly leaf tattoo on my wrist. I start decorating for it in early October at the latest,” she says. “I also love creating things and being crafty. I do counted cross stitch, sew, paint, sculpt, and make prints. And I just got back from Venice, Italy for a study abroad. I was there for half a month, got to see the Venice Biennale, and fell in love with gelato.”
