The most important first step for someone transitioning to a new career is learn as much as you can and use those tools that your work can provide for you so you can be closer to pursuing your occupation.

I grew up living with divorced parents. My mother sometimes didn't have money for food, I didn't do well in school, and I even had dirty clothes sometimes. But these challenges made me want to be someone and show everyone and anyone that I can be someone.

A great day would be to assist and educate customers with their banking needs, and being able to help the Relationship Banker and Teller duties. Being able to help out my team knowing they will always have someone that will help them when needed.
