Heidi began her journey with OlyFed in August 1996 as a Customer Service Representative (CSR) at the Downtown Olympia branch. A year later, she transferred to the Operations Department as an Operations Assistant I where she continued to develop her skills earning her a promotion in 1999 to Operations Assistant III before transferring to the Compliance team in 2003.
In April 2008, Heidi was promoted to Assistant Operations Manager and in 2015 she transferred back to the compliance team as Assistant Compliance Manager. Five years later, she earned another promotion to Compliance Manager and in April 2025 she was named Assistant Vice President (AVP), Compliance Manager.
One constant throughout Heidi’s career has been her dedication to professional growth and lifelong learning. She earned her certification as a Certified Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Professional and Fraud Professional (CAFP) and completed the 2025 Executive Development Program through the Washington Bankers Association. Heidi has also been recognized with internal values awards numerous times throughout her career and continues to exemplify OlyFed’s commitment to excellence.
“We are incredibly grateful to have Heidi on our team and for the immense impact she has on OlyFed,” said Josh Deck, President & CEO. “For 30 years, she has helped hold OlyFed accountable to the highest industry and regulatory standards. Her heart and dedication to continually making the Association, our systems and our services better and stronger every day is truly inspiring.”
When Heidi is not in the office, you can usually find her with her beloved pets. Inspired by her volunteer work with Joint Animal Services, Heidi helped establish Fur Love Haven, a nonprofit organization that supports animal rescues in Washington and Oregon. She also created a network of fosters and trainers for dogs in need throughout the country. She makes sure these animals are healthy, safe and loved by those fostering and adopting them. Heidi is also an avid TikTok viewer. If there’s a dog video, especially one featuring a chihuahua, chances are she’s already seen it!
