As background, I have been working in the banking industry for over 20 years. During my tenure, I have held positions in operations, retail, wealth management, business and commercial banking departments. I am formally trained in compliance, treasury management, consumer and commercial credit.
Early on in my career, I identified that work experience alone would not be enough to be a successful banker and resource to my clients. As a result, while working full-time, I obtained a certificate in principals of banking from the Center of Financial Training at Miami Dade College, a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Business Management from the University of Phoenix and a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) from Florida International University. I also completed formal credit training from Omega Performance and RMA - The Risk Management Association, Financial Accounting for Bankers from Edge Development, UCA credit training from Wells Fargo and Sales training from Richardson The Power to Sell. I am a member of Global Professionals (BNI Miami) and Miami-Dade’s United. I have participated in raising funds for cancer via the Dolphin Cycling Challenge and completed an Ironman 70.3 for Melanoma Research Foundation. I believe that through the educational and professional skills I have earned over the years afford me the opportunity to be an asset to entrepreneurs. |
