In her own words:

My involvement with the credit union industry began in the early 1980’s when I was appointed the Treasurer of the Burbank Schools Student Federal Credit Union on campus during my junior year of High School.  I didn’t know anything about credit unions at the time, but I volunteered because it promised a summer internship, effectively launching a lifetime career in the financial services industry.
 
I was fortunate to work for a visionary CEO who encompassed everything that’s right about credit unions and why I believe in this industry.  This foundation of ethical leadership, member focus, and value of employees, as well as strategic management, has been central to my leadership and collaborative style.
