Jennifer Handyside

• I am a very loyal, personable, creative, and organized person with an attention to detail. Having worked for 17 plus years in retail banking, I have extensive experience in customer service, operations, problem research and resolution, clerical, security, and critical thinking. This experience was earned while supervising and managing staff in a fast-paced, busy, and at times stressful retail branch, and through two acquisitions. I am looking forward to a new career, with new challenges, that enables me to learn and grow as a business professional.
• On my resume, you will find that I started my bank career in 1999 with National City Bank and ended it in 2016 with First Niagara Bank. I never changed banks. My National City branch was divested to First Niagara Bank.
• I am a mother to an amazing 9 year old son. When First Niagara Bank was acquired by Key Bank in 2016, I had the option to stay with the new bank or take severance. Since my son was still very young, I chose to take the severance that I had earned and become a full-time parent. Now that my son is older, I am excited to return to work.

I enjoy spending time with my husband, son and dogs. We often spend family time walking in the park, playing basketball or settling in to watch movies. To fulfill my creative needs, I enjoy making jewelry and also invitation templates for sale on Etsy. 

For the past 3 years, I have served as a Chairperson for the PTA of my Son's school. I am directly responsible for our Student Store. These responsibilities include, inventory, purchasing, staffing and cash handling. 

I am in my third year as Head Coach of my son's recreation soccer team. I have had the pleasure of developing and watching my players grow into great young athletes. My players have all requested to remain on my team each year as well.
