In early 2025, after advancing to the highest level available for the area at Chase in her role, Mrs. Granger transitioned to Community Bank of Louisiana as vice president, commercial lender to further her career and provide flexible lending solutions to meet the needs of her clients. This was the first time during her entire career that she transitioned to another bank for a reason other than military relocation, showing dedication and loyalty.

Academically, Mrs. Granger holds a Bachelor of Science in business administration with a concentration in finance from Columbia Southern University, graduating magna cum laude in 2012.
