Zoe Leatherman
Training Manager
2/25 – I began my career as an ITM/Call Center Specialist. I was fortunate to work at several other locations including 120th and I, Elkhorn, and Bedford where I currently reside. In 2023, I was promoted to Training Manager, which has been the greatest achievement of my career so far at FNCU. I am so incredibly grateful for everything FNCU has done for me, and for the outstanding mentors and colleagues who have supported me throughout my journey and helped me reach my goals. It’s truly an honor to serve such an amazing organization, alongside such a talented team, and I look forward to many more years to come.
I live in Omaha with my husband, and in my free time, I enjoy baking, reading, gardening, and spending time with my wonderful friends and family.
