What's the best advice you've ever received? For me, it's transparency and honesty. I always admit when I don't know something or if something is wrong. Hiding things erodes trust, and I never want people to feel I'm being dishonest, whether in my personal or business life.

Growing up near Kansas City, Brande and her husband dreamed of coastal living. They found their way to Galveston, started banking at Texas First Bank, and a casual question from the branch manager led to a surprising career change. From pharmacy tech to a bank manager, her journey is a testament to seizing new opportunities.
