Hi Maggie, we're so excited to have you here! Why don't you introduce yourself a little?

Where are you from?

I’m from Heppner, a small town in Eastern Oregon.

Before coming to Lendtable, what were you doing?

Before Lendtable, I was a program manager at Plaid and before that I managed Operations at a loan servicing startup.

What made you choose to come to Lendtable?

The team and the product itself! It was clear from the very first email that Lendtable is a mission-driven company and the folks here are caring, smart, and ready to get things done.

Why is Lendtable's mission important to you?

The stats are clear–not enough people are saving for retirement, and it’s not because they don’t want to. Lendtable is a product that helps people invest in their future–a super impactful and far-reaching initiative.

What are you passionate about outside of work?

I’m all about food–new restaurants, cooking, baking, and enormous family dinners. I love a good tiki bar, of which SF has many. I enjoy museums (Legion of Honor and the Fogg are my favorite). I find languages fascinating and have attempted to learn many and when I feel like being a couch potato, I binge the occasional k-drama.

Where do you look for financial tips and advice?

My aunt and NerdWallet. I’m excited to learn more here!

What do you consider your greatest financial accomplishment?

I bought a house a couple years ago! It was very scary and something I never thought I’d be able to do when I moved here. It’s definitely been a learning curve but I feel very lucky every time I walk in the door.

What’s one piece of advice you’d give your younger self?

Everything is going to be A-OK! You can prioritize self-care and rest.

Rapid fire time!

Favorite season?

Summer ☀️

Pet peeve?

I always straighten a frame when it’s tilted.

Favorite cuisine?

Vietnamese (my SF faves so far: Yummy Yummy, Pho Day, and Jasmine Garden)

Favorite city?

Besides San Francisco? Valletta, Malta (speaking of amazing food).

Favorite drink?

NA: Lemonade Alcoholic: an Aviation or any tiki drink

Nickname?

Maggie is technically a nickname already (my family, who decided my name, felt that Margaret was too old-fashioned).

Any last remarks?

I’m excited to be here and to learn from everyone!
