Her manager, Sarah Hall shared, “Congratulations, Emily, on reaching 25 years with KCU! Your commitment, hard work, and passion have been key to our success. Your care for our membership and dedication to serving military members is inspiring. I'm grateful for your contributions and look forward to many more years together. Thank you for being an invaluable part of our team!”
To celebrate her amazing milestone, we asked Emily a few questions about her time here at KCU. Here's what she shared:
What brought you to KCU?
We moved to Kitsap County, Washington, for my husband's next duty station under military orders. Before joining Kitsap Credit Union, I worked for the Navy Exchange Retail at Bangor. While working at the Navy Exchange, I took a few college courses at Olympic College. Some of my classmates talked about KCU, which at that time was called Kitsap Federal Credit Union. After two years, I decided to change my career and look for opportunities to use my experience to help people. All the good things I heard from my classmates about KCU—its culture, values, diversity, support for the military, retirees, DOD personnel, and especially their community involvement—stayed with me. I told myself this is a place I want to be.
What roles have you worked in during your time here at KCU?
I started as a Teller at Silverdale Classic, then moved to East Bremerton as a Member Service Representative. I worked in Support Services and later returned to the front line as a Member Specialist at the Bangor and PSNS branches.
What have been your favorite memories here at Kitsap Credit Union?
Looking back over the past 25 years, if there's one thing I've learned from KCU, it's loyalty to our members and helping the community. The encouragement, mentorship, and understanding of family values within the organization are truly special. My admiration for this organization is beyond my imagination because they truly stand by their vision and mission for both members and the community. I am so grateful to be a part of this organization.
Happy 25-Year Anniversary, Emily! We're so grateful to have you here at Kitsap Credit Union!
