Nystrum said she is passionate about helping the Charlotte community through philanthropic efforts, and partnerships like medicine or housing.
In 2018, she participated in the bank’s Leader on Loan program, which enables employees to leverage their skills at the bank to support local organizations.
She then became the executive director of the Camino Community Center, a place that offers services for the Latino community.
“I think one of the reasons I was selected is because I am Hispanic. I understand the culture. I can relate to the community,” Nystrum explained.
