Stephanie M., Retiring after 23 Years of Service
Vice President of Human Resources
7/26 – Congratulations Stephanie, on your retirement after almost 23 years at FNCU!
Stephanie began her career with the credit union in the ATM/Debit Card department in 2003. She was the only employee in that department. She has worked on the teller line, in member service and in training over the years. In 2008, she started in the HR role.
Stephanie was born and raised in Montana and will tell you that you should put Montana on your bucket list for a visit! She lives in Springfield, NE where her and her husband raised their son and daughter. They have never been empty-nesters, because they have 2 mini dachshunds that demand attention. You will usually find Stephanie and her husband working on the house or in the yard on the weekends. They are Houston Astros fans and will find any excuse to travel to see them play.
Stephanie said, “My career at the credit union has been an amazing journey. So much has changed over the last 20+ years. There were new products, new positions, new faces, new software and yet the FNCU philosophy of people helping people never waivered. Although I am looking forward to retirement, I will miss all the wonderful coworkers I have had the pleasure to work with!”
