Mackenzie Basile Celebrating 5 Years at SBSI

Mackenzie Basile, Retail Loan Closer at Saco & Biddeford Savings, is celebrating her 5-year work anniversary!

In spring 2019, while searching for summer jobs that would serve as a stepping stone into this field of banking, Mackenzie discovered the Seasonal Teller position and recognized it as an excellent opportunity to start accumulating relevant knowledge. 

Over the course of three summers, Mackenzie worked as a seasonal teller at the Scarborough branch. Upon graduating from college, with a continued passion for banking, Mackenzie stumbled upon the Retail Loan Closer role. 

Believing this to be an ideal entry point into the lending department, Mackenzie seized the chance and has been striving to progress within the loan department ever since. The role has become a significant learning experience, providing new insights every day.

What has made Mackenzie's journey at the bank truly enjoyable is the supportive network of colleagues and mentors. At both positions held at the bank, the guidance from experienced professionals who shared their expertise made a profound impact. 

Working alongside such caring and cooperative individuals has fostered a strong team ethic, where everyone is ready to assist irrespective of the situation.

In her personal time, Mackenzie cherishes summers by the lake and being outdoors, savoring moments with friends and family, experimenting with and creating new recipes, as well as pampering Fenway, her beloved yellow lab. An avid traveler, Mackenzie hopes to explore more destinations in the future.
