My favorite part about working at First Republic.

The best part about working at First Republic is the level of empowerment I am given. Having the authority to make decisions without always having to go to my supervisor is refreshing. This empowerment is what allows me to get things done as quickly as possible.

My career path at First Republic and how I got to where I am now.

I was hired with no banking experience and given the opportunity to work in a Preferred Banking Office. After being hired, I took advantage of tuition reimbursement benefits and went back to school to learn more about finance so I could be more knowledgeable. I also took advantage of the training offered throughout the bank.

Words of wisdom I have for First Republic job candidates or new First Republic colleagues.

Be a good corporate citizen by going above and beyond for your colleagues. If it weren’t for my colleagues, I wouldn’t be where I am today, so I make sure I pay it forward whenever I can.
