Member Services Consultant | California, Irwindale Branch
Team Member since 2014
Describe the work you do at the Credit Union.
I’m a member service consultant, helping the community with understanding the basics of a bank account. I also assist as a teller, with cash deposits, withdrawals, payments, etc. It’s always gratifying to hear our members are happy with our service/help.
What was your first job?
My first job was at 14 years of age, at a company called RESEARCHERS, a dupe for KINKO’S. It was my first summer job and I loved it.
How did you come to be a Rize Credit Union team member?
I was referred by Daniel Martinez, a former Rize CU employee. He mentioned to me the great benefits, better opportunities, and friendly environment. I had no prior experience at all in the banking industry. My former employer was Ross Dress for Less, for 14 years. I was a lead supervisor in the receiving/shipping area, working on the sales-floor, and as a cashier.
How do you spend your free time?
I enjoy reading, watching movies, and going to Disneyland with my sisters. I don’t have any pets, but I feel like my sister’s dog is mine too, he’s a 2 year old Chihuahua named Tomasita.
Do you speak any languages other than English?
I speak Spanish, which is my first language even though, still to this day, my parents correct me when I mispronounce a word.
