Haverhill Bank employees earn diplomas

Haverhill Bank employees Alison Hall and Shelly-Ann A. Cullen received multiple diplomas from the Center for Financial Training of Connecticut. These diplomas will improve the efficiency of the bank's overall commercial lending process.

Hall received certificates in Introduction to Lending and Introduction to Credit Analysis and a diploma in Advanced Financial Services. She received a First in Class award for analyzing financial statements and commercial lending.

"Commercial lending is very complex and there are many rules and regulations. Everything I learn prepares me to quickly resolve unexpected conflicts that may arise during the process," Hall said.

Cullen is working toward a diploma in Commercial Lending and received a First in Class award for analyzing financial statements.

"The classes have made me more proficient in my job. With the ability to analyze financial statements I can better assess a borrower's ability to repay loans," Cullen said.

Hall is a mortgage servicing specialist at Haverhill Bank. She has been with the bank since 2003. Hall, a resident of Haverhill, is the daughter of David and Patricia Hall.

Cullen is a commercial loan assistant. Originally from Trinidad and Tobago, Cullen now lives in Danville, N.H., with her husband and two sons. She has worked in the banking industry for 21 years, spending eight with Haverhill Bank.
