![]() Not having a degree in finance was something that was intimidating, but through the various mentors and leaders of the bank, it gave me a chance to say that I can do it. Starting my career in banking, I started as a rotational, uh, management associate. My name is Hope and I'm a business banker in the Washington region. Um, and I just want to be able to inspire people, help people grow and develop them so that they can be the best version of their selves. ![]() I am, um, a manager that believes in you can surpass me. I hope to be able to help develop people, help to bring them forward. I had that opportunity early in my career to grow and get, um, advanced very quickly, and I just hope to be able to get that back. Um, but after joining, I saw there was a lot of opportunity to bring different digital experiences to our clients to get more digital capabilities in banking.Īnd I think it's important that we give that experience back to people of color and women, um, who are underrepresented in STEM.Īnd I think it's because they don't understand there's a place for them. I thought of banks as brick and mortar. What do you need to do digitally with a bank? I've always been interested in science, but I think having the opportunity to actually experience it is what made me go into my career. I want to leave a legacy to where I've left a mark on other people. I want to be someone that other women, women in STEM look up to. And I think that's something that KeyBank has supported me along my journey to becoming the leader that I've always wanted to be. To know that you were able to help them get there in the best way possible and to make sure that they're still set up for continued success in the future. I still have clients reaching out saying, come by the restaurant, you won't believe what we just did. It's just been fantastic to work for a company that aligns with your values, helps you become a better person and a better community person. Off, go be present. And they’re out there. And they’re with us. Our leadership says, go do it. Get out there, take that time I've been really surprised in how much upper management and even just my direct management has taken an interest in my career and what I want to do and what I'm passionate about and helped me move forward in that. When I started, I was very heavy technology, developing data science, and we've been able to evolve my role and try different things in different projects and different teams and meet new people to place me where I am today.
