Meet LaCienne
LaCienne, what does a typical work day look like for you?
My typical day is a mix of tasks focused on overseeing the financial operations of the company and engaging with my team, department leaders, and bank partners.
What’s your favorite part of the job?
My favorite part is team leadership. I get to collaborate across all company departments through financial planning and problem solving.
What advice would you give to people who want to start a career in finance?
Thinking back, I was really fortunate to have a mentor early in my career. I would advise someone interested in finance to find a solid person in the field that can help them learn beyond the textbook rules and guidelines. That way, they will develop a strong understanding of the fundamentals of finance and accounting.
I’d also recommend that they never stop learning, be patient and flexible, maintain a high level of integrity, and build solid relationships with colleagues. Most importantly, do your best –and remember to smile!
What do you love to do on your day off?
On my day off, I love to have fun with my first and only grandson, create memories with my loved ones, listen to live music, and relax near a body of water. Oh, and going to the spa!
