Missy Daniels
Branch Supervisor, Las Vegas Branch
Missy has worked for SPFCU for over six years and in the Credit Union industry for 30. She's married with no children of her own, but many who've adopted her as their Mom. Missy knew from the age of 12 - when she and her sister would set up a pretend bank/teller station - that she wanted to work in banking. So she set a course to get as much information & experience as possible to put her on that path. Missy became a credit union member, discovered the benefits of credit union membership versus a bank, and knew that the CU life was her destiny. When not at work doing what she was born to do, Missy enjoys reading, watching movies, spending time with family, friends, and church fellowship. She appreciates all that life has to offer each day, and lives by the philosophy that life is what you make it...so you need to "choose" to MAKE it great!!
