We’re glad to have heard recently from Crystal Hernandez a Theatre and English major who graduated with her degree in Theatre in Spring 2014. She has since continued her work as a personal banker, on stage, and in the classroom. As she tells us:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“I have been with Wells Fargo Bank for going on 5 years now. When I originally interviewed for a position as a Personal Banker I did brag about my work as a Theatre major, speaking on the responsibilities I held while Stage Managing productions held at the U. My interviewers were extremely impressed by the level of attention I received as a student at the University of Scranton as well as how the experience helped shape me into a well-rounded applicant for the position.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Fast forwarding through the years — I moved up into the role of a Service Manager a year after I was hired. In that role I oversaw the operational soundness of the branch and managed the tellers on a daily basis. Then I was granted a personal leave to return to The U to finish my degree in theatre in the spring 14′ semester. Upon my return to the bank I took on the role of Store Manager and managed all operations related to the branch.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Additionally, I was accepted to the Graduate School at Seton Hall University to pursue my Masters of Arts Degree in Literature. The need to have a more flexible work schedule drove me to pursue a new position at the bank as a Mortgage Consultant. Since I have been in this role I have been able to devote myself whole-heartedly to my customers AND<\/u><\/b> most importantly this ability to create my own work schedule has afforded me the greatest opportunity to enjoy my work and education as a graduate student of literature.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Overall, in the next few years I plan on continuing to grow my business and help my borrowers attain their goals of home ownership, along with finishing my degree in Literature.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
“My role now consists of reaching out and also responding to any customers who wish to become home owners and help them along the process in the financing aspect. I also help manage our existing customers who are wishing to refinance. In a nutshell I am a loan originator responsible for growing and maintaining my base of clients.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We offer our warm congratulations to Crystal, and we hope she can serve as an inspiration and a reminder that a background in theater and literature can lead you anywhere.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
