Meet Makayla Moen, a Lakeland College alumna, who is sharing her experience during
COVID-19.
Program: Class of 2018, agribusiness
Job: Account manager for agriculture and commercial lending at Vermilion Credit Union
Q: How did COVID-19 change the way you do your job?
A: A large part of my job now is helping members through the financial stress of COVID-19,
whether that's assisting them with accessing government programs to accessing deferrals
on loans and mortgage payments.
Q: How does it feel to play such an important part in our community's response to
the pandemic?
A: Agriculture and commercial industries are essential in these times. I'm very grateful
that I get to be part of keeping feet on the ground and helping them contribute back
to the economy. I'd like to give a huge shout out to all the frontline workers during
COVID-19. All the nurses, doctors and police, everyone who's doing so much for our
health and safety.
