The Celebration Team  asked that we get to know each other better, so each quarter for the next year, we will be asking questions to learn more about each other! First up are those staff members with a birthday in either December, January or February! So be sure to not only wish them a Happy Birthday, but to let them know you appreciate them sharing a little information about themselves! 

Below are the questions that were asked:

 

1.      Where were you born?

2.      Why did you choose to work at a credit union?

3.      If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would you go?

4.      What’s your favorite TV show?

5.      What is one thing that people might be surprised to find out about you?

And here are the answers:

 

HOLLY TRUONG 

December 26th

 

I was born in Saigon, Vietnam.

I wanted to work for a financial Institution.

If I could visit somewhere in the world, I would love to go to Greek to see the Pyramid. 

It has always amazed me.

My favorite TV Show is Desperate Housewives.

 I don’t know that I might surprise peoples but I think everything about me will surprise others.

LATARCHA WEBBER

December 25th

I was born in Houston, TX.

 I started off as a temp a CU years ago doing something totally different than teller work.When a position became available for a teller I was recommended by someone and ended up liking the fact of just helping people with their financial needs.

If I could go anywhere in the world it would a place where the water is beautiful and USHER (singer)would have to be close by.

 My favorite TV shows are Good Times, The Golden Girls and Friends and Will and Grace ( I know you said one show but….lol) 

 The one thing that people would be surprised to know about me would probably be that I love ladybugs and anything that has ladybugs on them! She and her dad also share a birthday!

HENRIETTA EDWARDS

Having worked for over 20 years in commercial banks, I wanted to make the change to working for a credit union.

MICHAEL CRAIG

January 30th

 

Killeen, TX

I chose to work at a credit union because I felt as if I needed to work in an enivironment where I could utilize my skillsets & work with people. The smiles I see from the faces of satisfied people is the greatest pursuit I could ever endure. 

I have always been wanting to go to Italy; for the simple fact that I have never been there before. 

My favorite TV show of all time would be Breaking Bad, due to its perfection in cinematography and writing. 

I enjoy working with broadcast design as a primary hobby, next to wine and cheese tasting. 

 KAITLIN HEADRICK

December 8th

 Dallas, TX

I came to work for a credit union because I wanted to work for a smaller financial institution. You get to work more closely with the employees for the credit union and have a better relationship with the members.

If I could go anywhere in the world I would go to Austria

My favorite TV show is Grey's Anatomy

I love WW2 movies and books! 

CHERYL HIBBS

MARY BIBB

December 8th 

I was born in Gulfport, MS. My family moved to New Orleans shortly after and I relocated to Sacramento, CA when I was 12 years old. I call Sacramento home because I spent most of my growing up there.

I’m a military brat, married a military serviceman and traveled at lot. One thing I noticed in my travels, there was a credit union on every military base. I walked in one day at Beale AFB Credit Union, CA to apply for a loan and applied for a job instead.

I simply love Europe. We were stationed at RAF South Ruislip Air Station for almost seven years and I loved it. It is the suburb of London, England.

My favorite TV shows are anything to do with music, The Voice, X Factor, American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance, America Got Talent, The Sing Off and Glee.

The one thing that people might be surprised to find out about me, I do a lot of volunteer work for my church. I’m very active and served as a member of the board of directors for the past 3 years. I’m the auxiliary head for the Drama Ministry and have directed programs for Easter and Christmas for the past 4 years. This Christmas I am really thinking big and will produce a live Nativity Scene to be held on the grounds of the church.
