ABOUT CAROLINA NAVARRETE
In my nearly 4 years of experience in commercial government lending, I’ve assumed a leadership role, training technicians and specialists in best practices, and designing and ensuring the adoption of new initiatives. I’ve cultivated strong relationships with my peers built on mutual respect and dedication to shared goals. I’ve focused on refining my ability to evaluate commercial loans and grants, business practices, credit risk, security servicing, and NEPA environmental reviews. Moreover, I have 8 years of supervisory and customer service experience, which provides real-world context to complement my educational background in economics, finance, and business analytics. These combined competencies provide me with a unique vantage point for approaching challenges and delivering results.
