After doing some research on cPort and going through the interview process, I knew cPort would be the perfect place to do just that.
How have you grown at cPort?
cPort has given me a variety of opportunities to grow. I’ve slowly taken on more responsibility over my early stages here. I was selected to take part in a teller growth program which will give me hands-on experience in multiple facets of how cPort functions. Most importantly, those with more experience than me are always willing to walk me through new learning opportunities and help me when I need it.

I took this position because I was looking for a culture like this and cPort has exceeded those expectations. Furthermore, there’s a culture of deep caring for the members and each other as employees. I’ve seen many instances of cPort being flexible with members and going to great lengths to make something work out for a member.
What’s a work-related accomplishment that you’re really proud of?
I’m most proud of being accepted to the teller growth program. I came to cPort because I wanted to learn and grow as much as possible, and being accepted to this program is a reflection of that. To me, it signifies that I’ve made that clear through my work.

What’s your favorite sport to watch and which team do you root for?
My favorite sport to watch is hockey. I grew up playing baseball and played briefly in college, but hockey has slowly overtaken baseball as my favorite sport all around. I’m a New England sports fan, but my favorite team of the big 4 Boston teams is the Boston Bruins.
What’s your favorite TV show—the one you’re always watching on tv?
My favorite TV show of all time is “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”. I’ve seen every episode more times than I can count and can quote or reference some of its most obscure scenes.
