Laura Kendrick Lope

Laura Kendrick Lope has joined the staff at Aspire Credit Union as a member service representative.

According to Aspire, Kendrick Lope is a graduate of Gordon State College, where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in English literature with a concentration in humanities and fine arts.

New to the Minot area, she brings experience from her time in Georgia that includes a 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, Kendrick Lope shared she was drawn back into banking when she discovered the opportunity at Aspire Credit Union.

“I fully entertain the thought that Aspire will help me bring my aspirations to life,” she said.

“Laura has quickly proven to be a strong addition to our team,” said Brianna Weeks, Operations manager, in a news release. “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.”
