Selected by her peers, Mari is recognized for her reliability, professionalism and unwavering commitment to excellence, setting high expectations of herself and inspiring those around her to do the same.
Throughout the past year, Mari has demonstrated extraordinary resilience and leadership. During a period when the Loan Underwriting team was operating without key staffing support, Mari stepped up in a significant way. Despite increased responsibilities and a demanding workload, Mari never missed a beat. She showed up each day with a positive attitude, a welcoming presence and her infectious laugh that lifts the spirits of everyone around her.
Mari’s remarkable superpower is her ability to remain calm, composed and effective under pressure. She successfully managed the underwriting of all the Association’s residential, consumer and commercial loan files while continuing to provide essential support to the loan teams, complete annual term loan reviews and actively contribute as a member of OlyFed’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEI&B) committee. Beyond her technical expertise, Mari’s approachable and supportive nature strengthens her entire team.
“Mari fosters collaboration between teams, builds trust and contributes to a positive and inclusive workplace culture,” said Josh Deck, President and CEO. “Her impact extends beyond her role, benefiting our team, OlyFed and the community we serve.”
