  • Researched potential investors for the stand-alone film Holiday Hold Up along with potential investors for a movie studio in Rantoul, IL. I was able to use many of my previous contacts from banking relationships as well as developing new relationships to coordinate more than 10 investor meetings in a few months.
  • Expanded on my relationships with local and State of Illinois politicians to set meetings. These meetings not only educated the team on the many tax incentives Illinois offers specifically for the film industry, but discussions were had about how to get more of this money directly to Rantoul, IL.
  • Used Excel to input and keep track of accounting items for the film Holiday Hold Up. The goal was to maximize the tax incentives the State of Illinois was able to offer. My team was able to accomplish this goal and we received the full 30% tax incentive.

  • Lent money through all types of loan products including, consumer, commercial, real estate and agricultural.
  • Starting in 2020, a main focus was real estate lending and cultivating relationships with local realtors. During this time, over $50 million in real estate loans were generated and sold to Fannie Mae. This consisted of over 350 home loans and generated revenue of over $1.5 million directly to the bank.
  • Successfully managed and trained a small team of lenders to help them achieve their career goals of advancement and overall knowledge of banking through weekly meetings and one on one training.
  • Actively listened and consulted with clients to help them take advantage of non-lending products the bank had to offer. This not only maximized the profitability of the bank but ensured a great overall customer experience.
  • Wrote all the smart reports for the bank to help analyze data and save time by becoming more efficient. An example of this would be a smart report that included all bank customers with active deposits over a certain threshold. A report like this would aide loan officers and the wealth management team on marketing existing clients.
