Alumni Focus: Julissa Santoyo

When she was a senior majoring in finance in CSU’s Turner College of Business a few years ago, Julissa Santoyo sat down for an interview with Turner Business.  The story that emanated from that interview featured her accomplishments in the Turner College, which were many, including induction into Beta Gamma Sigma (including serving as president of the Turner College’s chapter), service as Ambassador for the Center for Global Engagement, service as president of the Turner College’s finance club, and working as a tutor in the College’s Tutoring Lab.  Since graduating Suma Cum Laude (with a 3.98 GPA) in 2019, Santoyo began her career with Synovus as Accelerated Banker.  After only one year in that position, Julissa moved to Synovus’ Atlanta offices where she began her work as Lead Relationship Specialist.  Again after only one year she rose to Retail Market Manager, and then, after another year, to Credit Risk Manager, a position she holds for Synovus today.  Looking back at her previous interview with Turner Business, Julissa’s accelerated career track has followed the path she envisioned for herself as a senior in the Turner College.  Her story truly exemplifies the adage that “you can get there from here,” and should serve as an inspiration to current and future students in the Turner College of Business at CSU.
