Hello, my name is Jorge, and I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. One of the things I always wanted to do as I was growing up is to help people. When I was young, I remember my parents telling me to be kind to people and always to help those in need. That is where I get my passion for helping people. It brings me joy to see someone succeed in whatever they do. It brings me joy to help someone get out of a hard situation financially and succeed.
Being a part of Resource One Credit Union since 2007 has given me the experience to develop and educate myself to help our members that need financial counseling.
