More About Me
The standards that we live by transform our lives and therefore our communities. BB&T takes pride in training its employees to do what is right for the client. Coming from retail with no previous banking experience, I can say that because of the tools and training provided by the company, I have been able to succeed in my position as a Relationship Banker. I have had various opportunities to go out and do volunteer work for the community and have been paid by the company to do so. I remember going out and participating in the United Way Day of Caring in our community and the BB&T Light House Project, where we go out and help those in need.

More About Me
BB&T expects their employees to be honest, have character, use sound judgment and be happy. I can honestly say I am very happy to work for BB&T and always try to be the Best of the Best.
Four years ago, I was very sick and was in the hospital for over four weeks. My doctors, who were also my clients, did not know if I would survive. I would look out my hospital room window and see my branch, then wonder what they were doing without me. I had time to review what I had achieved in life and made a "bucket list." I chose two things: be the Financial Center Leader Sterling Performer of the year for the North Atlanta Region and be the Best of the Best for the corporation. Because of my desire to win and be successful, I used all of the tools BB&T had made available to me and completed my bucket list in 2008.

More About Me
I enjoyed building relationships with my clients and soon became a Sales Customer Service Representative, now known as a Relationship Banker (RB). During the next three years, I came to understand how much our clients need our help with meeting their financial goals.
As I advanced to the Retail Services Officer and eventually Financial Center Manager positions, I came to realize that not only is there a chance to improve on our clients' needs but also to improve our employees' knowledge and strategies. I am currently a Sales and Service Leader and really enjoy the coaching aspect of this role. It is very rewarding for me to watch employees grow in their positions. I want everyone to have a career, not a "job." BB&T allows for growth, and I am impressed that through good and bad times, we live by our values.

I have had a truly remarkable experience with BB&T over the past four years.
More About Me
After graduating with an economics degree from McDaniel College, I was seeking to join a company that was dedicated to the efficient training and overall professional development of each of its employees. After four years with the bank, I can honestly say that BB&T has held true to its mission, vision and values.
Over the past two years, I have developed a wealth of knowledge and hands-on experience working in commercial banking. As a new lender, it was wonderful to be able to lean on an experienced City Executive, a Senior Credit Officer, multiple Business Services Assistants and other senior lenders for guidance and support. The continuous training and system of mutual teamwork provided by BB&T feels like it is one of a kind when compared with the rest of the industry.
It is certainly a pleasure working with owners of small businesses and being their "go-to" person in helping them achieve financial success and security. Given that every business has its own unique needs, each day brings different challenges. However, the bank's extensive investment in my personal skills and professional development has made me feel like I am highly competent and able to deliver reliable and responsive service to every client.

This has been an excellent opportunity to merge my joy of sales and my relationships in the community with the desire to coach and develop a winning team.

As a result of this support, I was able to interview with confidence and hire great people. The bank’s award-winning training program provides my team with the skills they need to also be successful in their jobs.
