First American Bank

Commercial Loan Officer

Over the past 10 years, I have built a career in banking and finance, advancing from an entry level support role to my current position as a commercial loan officer. In this role, I partner with business clients across Carlsbad to evaluate lending needs and manage commercial loan portfolio needs that help local businesses grow and thrive. I’m a member of several organizations, but the Assistance League holds a special place for me. Through their Operation School Bell program, we provide new clothing to schoolchildren who might not otherwise be able to afford it. This mission is deeply personal: my late mother was once dressed by this very program as a child and later joined it as an adult. I also love contributing as a Chamber Ambassador, helping with local events, and as a member of the Downtown Lions Club, where we screen children’s eyes and help them get glasses. Giving back to my community is not just what I do; it’s a part of who I am.

Cavemen Entertain Organ Mt. Knights

By Don Eskins Following a 51-36 loss to the Artesia Bulldogs on January 6 in Artesia, the Cavemen basketball team is probably in a hurry to get back on the floor. The loss snapped CHS’s eight-game winning streak. The good news is they won’t have to wait long. On Friday night, January 9, the Organ Mt. Knights will be in town to test CHS’s resolve, and on Saturday, January 10, the Mayfield Trojans will make their way into the Cavemen Arena. Currently, the Cavemen are 8-4 on the

The Role of Libraries in Combating Misinformation

By Sarah Jones, Carlsbad Public Library In today’s world of nonstop news, viral headlines, and social media sound bites, it’s harder than ever to know what’s true. With information coming at us from every direction—often with conflicting messages—many people are left feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what to believe. That’s where libraries come in. More than just places to borrow books, libraries play a crucial role in helping people navigate the complex world of information
