Employee Spotlight – Jessie Burkholder
Jessie Burkholder, Credit Analyst| SouthStar Bank Leander LAB
Jessie Burkholder works in the Leander LAB as a Credit Analyst. She joined the SouthStar Bank team two years ago after her graduation from Texas State University as a Junior Credit Analyst. One of the things she is most proud of is earning her promotion to Credit Analyst. One of Jessie’s favorite things about working in the banking industry is the opportunity to analyze and problem-solve. She loves to analyze the creative ways money can be used, its great impact on everything around it, and how it moves.
Jessie enjoys supporting her community by volunteering with Mobile Loaves and Fishes. Through this group she brings food and supplies to people within the homeless community in Austin. Each run is special for Jessie because she is able to meet and make special connections with fascinating people. Jessie also volunteers with Miracle League, a baseball league for special needs children, as a volunteer coach.
In her free time, Jessie loves to hike, crochet, cook, make scratch pasta, and bake. Another one of her many hobbies is archery which she discovered she had a natural talent for as a child. She enjoys getting to go to the range whenever she can. Jessie’s idea of a dream vacation is anywhere with beautiful views, a mountain to hike, and food she can’t get at home.
