LAUREN FULLER, FINANCIAL CENTER CLIENT SERVICES MANAGER
WHAT IS YOUR SINGLE, MOST SIGNIFICANT STRENGTH AND HOW HAVE YOU UTILIZED IT TO MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT WITHIN AN ORGANIZATIONAL OR COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP ROLE?
My greatest strength is my positive attitude, which I’ve used to make a significant impact in my community leadership role with Habitat for Humanity. By focusing on the tangible, positive results—like a family getting the keys to their new home— I helped people connect with our mission and see the direct impact of their support.
CRYSTAL CREAGH, FINANCIAL CLIENT SALES & RELATIONSHIP MANAGER
WHAT IS YOUR “SECRET SAUCE?
My secret sauce is simple: Enthusiasm + empathy + professional expertise, all driven by a genuine desire to see my clients succeed. I’m not just here to process transactions; I’m here to be a partner in their financial journey. I listen to their unique stories, provide tailored advice, and work tirelessly to help them achieve their goals. Their success is my success, and I’m committed to helping them win.
IWONA WOLAS, FINANCIAL CENTER SALES & RELATIONSHIP MANAGER
EVERY DAY I AM THANKFUL FOR my team. The incredible support, collaboration, and expertise that Tom, Katie, Denise, and Jaye bring to our work allows us to provide exceptional service to our clients.
LISA TOPPIN, FINANCIAL CENTER SALES & RELATIONSHIP MANAGER
WHAT IS YOUR STORY OF SUCCESS?
After twenty-one years at Liberty Savings Bank you would think I have seen and heard it all… but I learn something new every day. I like being a financial “guide” for my clients and have helped them avoid fraud, grow their nest eggs and buy homes. How great is that!
LAURA GRAY, LENDING DEVELOPMENT OFFICER | SENIOR LIVING LOAN ADVISER
HOW HAS AN EXPERIENCE IN YOUR PERSONAL LIFE MOTIVATED YOU?
My biggest motivation comes from my parents. They’ve always been my biggest cheerleaders, and they think everything I do is great, especially my work in senior living. On top of their support, they’ve become my secret weapon. They’ve given me so many insights into the senior living journey from their own perspective. Having them as a sounding board helps me understand what my clients are going through on a deeper level, allowing me to help them and their families with more empathy and care.
