About Marie

Marie has a stated many times, the best part of her job is seeing small business owners get off their feet or launch in new directions. Maybe it’s because she was delivering newspapers for the Washington Post at age 13 or it could be her 25+ years focused on providing SBA/Commercial loans and credit. Either way, she appreciates the entrepreneurial spirit and takes pride in the part she gets to play in business success stories. She also enjoys the support and camaraderie she gets from her teammates at Primis, a place she has called home since its inception.

When she’s not bolstering businesses and encouraging her team, you might find Marie spending time walking a beach or having s’more night with her grandkids around the fire pit.
