LEADERSHIP
I was the very first and only Branch Specialist for Centris FCU from Dec 2014 until March 2016. In that time, I
perfected the process and paved the way for future specialist in order to better serve our members. In previous
positions for example, The Maids, I was a team leader overseeing scheduling, job functions and overall
performance. I have always been in some variation of a leadership role, which is where I feel most comfortable
but work well with others in a team environment also. Individually or as a member of a team, successfully
achieving goals is my priority.
COMMUNICATION
Within my most recent position as Branch Specialist, one job function was opening special, restricted accounts
remotely. Centris FCU has locations in North Platte and Grand Island NE and I was solely responsible for any
requests regarding special accounts from both. I would open these account based on the information the branch
had provided via email or phone remotely from Omaha and send documents for signature to the originator.
Failed communication would have greatly impacted this process and potential lost many valuable members
Centris has today. Details, clarification and understanding of the main objective, is my focus and what makes me
successful.
