Beyond a Student Banker - Rhanda Fields
What year will you graduate?
2024
Why did you choose to join the Banking Class? What is your favorite thing about it?
I chose the banking class because it lined up well with my future story.
How is financial literacy important in your life?
I think that financial literacy should be important in everyone’s life, but it’s especially important in mine because I’d like to buy a car soon. Saving and budgeting has become a large part of my life.
What does Beyond a Banker mean to you?
It means to me that you should be something beyond just a banker to the people you serve. Someone who is kind to them, who cares for them, or maybe somehow makes them smile.
What are you passionate about outside of school?
I’m very passionate about Jesus, and my faith. I strive to magnify Him through my actions and way of life.
Where might we see you on the weekends?
If I’m not at home or at my grandparents' house, I might be babysitting to make extra money, playing tennis or basketball, or hanging out with my friends.
What is your dream job?
I’d love to be part of the marketing team at Citizens Bank, more on the people side of things.
What show(s) are you currently binge-watching?
Stranger Things and The Chosen!
When/Where are you happiest?
I love being at Church. There’s such a sweet spirit there that makes my heart so full.
Where is your favorite (local) place to eat?
Definitely Dora’s
What motivates you to get out of bed in the morning?
My motivation comes from imagining what I can get done that day. When I first wake up, I plan my day.
What special/interesting skill do you have that many might not know about?
I enjoy singing. I sing the anthem at several ball games and other events.
If you had a reality TV show of your life, what would it be called?
Rhanda’s Road to Riches.
What is something you wish you would have known earlier in your high school career?
Procrastination is NOT a good idea. Ever. Also, drama really doesn’t matter. No one is better than anyone else, and do/wear things because you like them, not because they’re popular.
