Maria Sandoval, Branch Manager
Maria joined Education First as a Teller in 2016. Over the last six years, she has served members in a multitude of roles. She was promoted to Branch Manager in 2022 after a $3 million remodel of the Lamar branch.
Maria shared that she loves when she can help a member who, in turn, refers a family member or friend because that speaks to the level of trust that member has placed in her. Her favorite thing about working at Education First is how much the credit union puts back into the community – especially the We’re Paying It Forward program that allows members to designate a local school that receives a donation on the member’s behalf.
Maria volunteers as the Youth Director at her church in her free time and enjoys spending time with her children.
