Get To Know Our Team - Dionne Torrence

1. How did you get started in the banking industry? I needed a change… applied as a teller, for a local bank and found that working in banking provided me with a skill set that was always needed.

2. What is your position at the bank? What are some of your key responsibilities? My title is a Loan Coordinator, and I am responsible for making sure that all documents are prepared as well as gathering all information required for the bank to meet all Compliance Regulations required by the Federal and State Government. I provide a seamless loan closing experience for the loan officers that I work with.

3. What brought you to the Lake of the Ozarks? My parents bought a 50 unit Resort/Hotel. My then 4 year old son and I moved with them. I loved being a part of Lake Life.

4. Where did you attend school? I graduated from Chillicothe High School in Chillicothe, Missouri.

5. What do you enjoy the most about your job? Firstly – the people I work with. I couldn’t ask for better co-workers. Secondly – banking is always changing. There is always something new to learn.

6. How do you enjoy spending your time when not at work? I spend time with family. We love to cook and gather together. I have a dog that loves walking with me and going to Ha Ha Tonka State Park. I am an avid reader and like to create and repurpose unique furniture.

7. When you were young, what did you want to be when you grew up? I wanted to be a Psychologist.

8. What is your dream vacation destination? The Mediterranean Why? So much history and beauty to experience and the color of the water just draws me in.

9. What is something few people know about you? I’m an open book.
