How long have you worked at Fremont Bank, and what do you do here? 

I've been with Fremont Bank for 35 years, and I'm an Account Relations Specialist. In my role, I take care of many of our loyal clients who have banked with us for years.

What do you enjoy the most about your job?

The people, hands down. Over the years, many of my clients and coworkers have become longtime friends and even family. There's something really special about relationships that have grown over more than 30 years.

What's your greatest strength as a business professional?

I like to think I'm reliable and that I take ownership of the tasks I'm given. When a problem comes up, I know how to find the right people and resources to get it resolved.

What does your ideal day look like?

My ideal day would start with a slow morning, enjoying coffee and a sweet pastry while relaxing with my husband, followed by a little YouTube time. Then I'd be off to explore a new restaurant or catch up with friends. I'd end the day with a home-cooked family dinner and a relaxing evening at home.

What's your favorite go-to snack?

Anything with fresh, warm bread. My favorites are brioche, dinner rolls, croissants, and a classic French baguette.
