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

Kenosha Central universal banker Merriet Alfano-Tilch is from Kenosha and was previously assistant manager at Follett Bookstore. She is a single mother of two kids and has one grandchild, age 2. “In my spare time, I like to sing and draw,” she says. “I also am a number freak — I remember numbers easily after looking at them.” Her favorite times of the year are spring and fall, when it’s cooler out but there’s no snow.

Residential loan specialist Lana Huebner is from New Berlin and was previously an underwriter at Associated Bank. “I am now a crazy cat lady, with four fur-babies,” she jokes. There’s a Himalayan named Sky, a Persian named Georgie, and two Maine coons: Sophie and Saylor. “They all have different personalities and are a handful! When we first got Georgie, he dragged the chalker on a string from the pool table downstairs all the way upstairs, and I woke up with it in the bed. I was like, Where did this come from?!?”

Grafton universal banker Aradonis Nusberger was born and raised in Glendale. She spent 11 of the last 13 years in the Air Force — six years on active duty as a parachute rigger for special forces and the last five as an air transportation specialist in the reserves, with a two-year break. “I grew up in a bowling alley,” she says. “My family owned it for 35 years, and it was basically my second home.” When Aradonis was around 10, she and her brother bowled against actor Jamie Foxx. “We beat him,” she says.
