Thank you to EXP for extending the invite to U.S. Bank A little about the day we had a networking breakfast, the students had a workshop on a product creation, lunch with a professional, and closed out the day walking around to speak to each booth. We were extremely excited to share our career journeys we represented different areas of the bank: ? Wendy Chau Community Affairs ? Michelle Molina recruiting ? Daniel Herrera from Marketing ? myself representing operational risk anti money laundering The students were quite surprised about the various roles that are within a bank. More about the non profit: “EXP is celebrating 25 years of helping young people gain experience, unlock doors, and build the confidence they need to succeed in school, career, and life.

For two consecutive years, Poppy Bank has proudly sponsored GPS Your Future hosted by EXP! It was an absolute delight to engage with nearly 400 students from low to moderate-income households and share insights on the exciting world of banking. My colleagues Jacob Safford, Raekwon Bullins and I had the opportunity to answer questions about credit cards, the various types of bank accounts, and how interest works. It was truly a rewarding experience! #future #personalfinance #banking #financialliteracy #teamwork #giveback #internship #leadership #entrepreneur #makeadifference #givingback #nonprofit #makingadifference

One of the best way to channel your energy, especially if and when feeling disheartned and frustrated, is to volunteer for a cause that you truly believe in. I am deeply grateful for an opportunity to mentor and inspire young people, our future leaders, to trust their hearts and follow their inner guidance while persuing their future careers. Thank you, EXP team, for this opportunity to support your hard work and vision. #youngleaders #ourfuture
