Commerce also fosters a strong sense of community and I appreciate the collaborative environment, professional growth opportunities and diverse projects. that I get to work on.

What is most rewarding to me in my work is the opportunity to help colleagues at the bank develop new skills through coaching and training. 

The most pleasant surprise at Commerce has been the inspiring culture and spirit of generosity within the community, both internally and externally.
