Aspire Credit Union is pleased to welcome Laura Kendrick Lope, a graduate of Gordon State College, where she earned a B.A. in English Literature with a concentration in Humanities & Fine Arts as a Member Service Representative.

New to the Minot area, Laura brings valuable experience from her time in Georgia, including a strong background in customer service, cash handling, and small business management. During her previous employment, she also completed a certification in fraud detection, further strengthening her skills and readiness for a role in the credit union world.

As a military spouse and new member of the greater Minot community, Laura has already made a positive impact as part of our front-line team. She shares that after graduation, she felt the world was at her fingertips and was drawn back into banking when she discovered the opportunity at Aspire Credit Union. In her own words: “I fully entertain the thought that Aspire will help me bring my aspirations to life!”

“Laura has quickly proven to be a strong addition to our team,” said Brianna Weeks, Operations Manager. “She’s excelling on the teller line and actively embracing opportunities to get involved beyond her role. Her initiative and enthusiasm for the credit union mission are truly impressive.”

We’re proud to have Laura on board and look forward to seeing all she’ll accomplish as she grows with Aspire.
