I manage a portfolio of clients and because building lasting relationships requires planning and coordination, sometimes I have to reach out on my own to them to fully understand their priorities and help them reach their financial goals.

Helping clients with new digital banking solutions

A big part of my job is helping my clients adapt to new digital solutions, such as helping them learn how to use our Mobile Banking app.
