Jennifer Albanese

Assistant Branch Manager

Jennifer Albanese is the Assistant Branch Manager at G&F’s Port Coquitlam Branch.

Jennifer followed a rather unconventional path into the financial industry. Having explored post-secondary programs in both marketing and criminology, Jennifer eventually honed in on her interests in the financial and real estate landscape and started pursuing a career as a mortgage broker. It was that decision that eventually led her to G&F.

How would you describe G&F’s culture?

“G&F’s culture is empowerment and caring—both internally and externally.”

How would you sum up your experience at G&F?

When reflecting about her experience with G&F and the relationships she’s made along the way, Jennifer speaks highly of her colleagues.

“I really credit the people I work with for pushing me out of my comfort zone and helping me realize my potential.” 

What’s one piece of career advice you would give to those looking for a career as an Assistant Branch Manager?
