In response to her new role, Branham shared, “The CSR position sparked my interest as I have 5 years of customer experience and enjoy agriculture, so being able to combine both was an enticing opportunity. I am excited to be part of the Farm Credit team and to share my positivity and strong work ethic with my new team members.”
She continued, “I am looking forward to continuing to grow my relationships with our customer-owners while embracing the culture of Farm Credit - the focus here is the customer’s needs.”

In her first few weeks at Farm Credit, Branham shared that her team members have been beyond supportive in helping her transition into her new role, “Every member on the Farm Credit Team has been extremely nice and helpful no matter the question I may have. I have been welcomed with open arms, it has been challenging as I came from the healthcare field to finance but it has been a good shift in learning the new field.”
