What’s been happening:

After graduating in 1999 with a degree in business management, I have made a career in the financial industry. My first job out of college was with Wells Fargo. I spent 7 years with them in several different roles, from branch management to outside sales. My career with Wells Fargo moved my husband and I from Erie, PA, to Columbus, OH. We have since moved on to Cincinnati, OH, and I have now been working as a sales manager for Fifth Third Bank for the last 3 years. Currently I am responsible for 15 mortgage loan officers on a daily basis. Although the market and industry can be very difficult at times, it is extremely rewarding to be able to help Americans purchase their dream home and stay there. I have been married for 9 years to John P. Bucklin, also from Erie, PA. We enjoy all outdoor activities, but spend as much of our free time as possible gardening and boating. We have two cats that joined us shortly after we got married, and a rescue dog that came along a few years later.
