Jacqueline’s career journey is one of immigrant success, thriving and overcoming obstacles and adversity to rise up in her career and become a leader in the investment banking field.
Like many immigrants, Jacqueline faced challenges early on. Moving from Ecuador to the US in 2002, she had to adapt to a totally new culture and way of life.
“I was lucky to have learned the language at an early stage in my life,” she says, “But still I felt like sometimes I did not know what they were telling me, but I never gave up.”
Jacqueline persisted through challenges and continued to learn and grow, taking advantage of all the opportunities that came her way. Through her determination, dedication, and strong work ethic, Jacqueline’s banking career blossomed and she soon rose through the ranks.
“I started my career in banking in 2003 -19 years ago- as a bank teller at American Savings Bank in Bloomfield, NJ, which merged with Investors Bank in 2009. After being a bank teller for a few months, I was promoted to be a banker, also worked in back office, Assistant Branch Manager and then Branch Manager at the Point Pleasant Office location. In 2011 I got my Life Insurance License.”
Today she is a dedicated and technically skilled business professional with an extensive fund of operations, banking and administrative knowledge and currently serves as an AVP-Branch Manager of Investors Bank.
