Christina Roark’s commitment extends beyond Highlands Community Bank. She is deeply invested in the community, participating in various hometown events that bring people together and promote local businesses. Christina’s willingness to volunteer reflects her dedication to Highlands Community Bank and fostering community spirit.
Today, we spotlight Christina, a devoted mother, community volunteer, and an invaluable member of our team as a Loan Administration Assistant.
From Farm to Teller
Christina began her career in May 2015. With a background rooted in customer service at a local farm store, Christina can handle demanding tasks while effectively interacting with customers. That foundation paved the way for her transition into banking, where she quickly adapted and thrived.
As a teller, Christina demonstrated her natural ability to connect with customers and understand their needs. Beginning in customer service, Christina moved on to handling collections and repossessions – a role that requires a delicate balance between firmness and empathy – and has since evolved into her current position as the Loan Administration Assistant.
The Heart of Service
What truly sets Christina apart is her unwavering commitment to service, both in the workplace and in personal customer interactions. In her role, she diligently reviews loans, ensuring accuracy and compliance while supporting collections when needed. Her proactive approach involves resolving issues before they escalate, highlighting her initiative and dedication.
Perhaps the most telling aspect of Christina’s character is the length of time she takes to assist customers personally. Stories of driving out to collect payments directly from customers who cannot make the trip themselves demonstrate the level of service that goes above and beyond Christina’s traditional job responsibilities.
