"I've grown through many roles at CIBC. I started working here 10 years ago as a banking centre manager. My team today ensures that client-facing team members are thinking about the entire experience at every stage. CIBC has always felt very community-focused. I love helping clients achieve their goals, and I've had excellent access to mentorship. I'm constantly looking for new sources of inspiration. I'm lucky to do work that aligns with my values and passions. I wake up in the morning and smile knowing I truly love what I do."
