Day to Day
A great day for me starts with a morning huddle with my teammates to create a plan for the day. During the day, I meet with existing and new clients to develop and deepen relationships with them. I observe and coach bankers and tellers while helping clients to achieve their financial goals. At the end of the day, I recap with my team their success stories helping customers. Helping clients achieve their dreams by educating them on credit worthiness and saving for tomorrow is a success for me.
