I started in the banking business over 20 years ago working my way up and taught myself many of the back- office tasks in the operation end of the banking world. I was given the opportunity to work as a teller and new accounts representative at 1st Advantage. I grew into new and different tasks as the bank grew. In 2020, I decided I wanted to learn the loan side of banking. 1st Advantage could not accommodate me at that time, Therefore, I accepted a position with American Bank of Missouri. I have learned a lot regarding the loan process, but I miss the retail operations side. That is my passion. I enjoy the challenge of balancing general ledgers, helping customers through fraud issues and processing adjustments.
