Accomplishments

    I began my career at the credit union as a Teller, where I delivered exceptional member service and quickly earned a promotion to Trainer within one year. In this role, I helped onboard and mentor new team members, contributing to a stronger, more knowledgeable front-line staff. I later expanded my skill set by taking on responsibilities in the Electronics Services Department, gaining expertise in digital banking tools and member support technologies. After excelling in both roles, I was promoted to Loan Officer, where I was entrusted with full loan approval authority due to my strong underwriting skills, sound judgment, and commitment to responsible lending practices.
