2023 Diamond Circle Award Winner

Earning the Diamond Circle Award in 2023 is one of the greatest highlights of my life, both personally and professionally. From a young age, I recognized that I often needed to work harder than others; some things never came easily to me. When my mother passed in 2016, I faced a pivotal choice: let her death bring me down or use it as motivation to rise. I chose the latter, committing myself to be a better mom, wife, and leader in finance.  Embracing opportunities outside my comfort zone, I challenged myself to overcome fears and self-doubt. Achieving Diamond Circle in my first full year as a Banking Center Manager fueled my passion for mentoring others and helping them grow in their careers. This journey has been transformative, and I’m excited to continue inspiring and empowering those around me
