Empower Current Cohort

I am the Corporate Controller at Poeppelman Materials, where I partner with leadership on financial strategy, planning, and operational performance across multiple locations. With more than 20 years of experience in finance and accounting, I have held progressive leadership roles, and before my current role, I was serving as a Controller at Midmark Corporation.

I am passionate about using financial insight to drive better business decisions, streamline processes, strengthen organizations, and develop people. I hold an MBA from Ball State University and Bachelor’s degrees in Accounting and Business Administration from Bluffton University.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Bob, and our three children, as well as helping to care for my mother. I also served on the Versailles Exempted Village School Board for eight years and was the Cub Scout treasurer for 12 years.

I am an established local government leader with 15 years of experience across multiple organizations, currently serving as Assistant City Manager for the city of Beavercreek. Throughout my career, I have built expertise in budget management, policy development, and organizational leadership, supporting the City Manager in overseeing day-to-day municipal operations and interdepartmental coordination. I am passionate about fostering collaborative work environments, building productive relationships, and improving public services. Guided by a servant leadership mindset, I am committed to building inclusive, collaborative teams and creating space for every voice — resident and colleague alike — to be heard. I look forward to connecting with local businesses and community partners through the Chamber.
