What is your name?
I am called Yetunde Ajao.

What is your occupation?
Parent / Higher Education Student Support Staff.

Where do you live?
I live in Amherst, MA.

Do you have kids?
Yes, I do!

Do you have pets?
Yes, I foster two betta fish.

How long have you been a UMassFive College Federal Credit Union member?
Over five years.

Have you had an especially good experience with UMassFive? 
Indeed, I have had nothing short of a good experience with UMassFive, from dealing with knowledgeable and friendly staff to having access to a range of services offered by the Credit Union. Above all, I like the feel[ing] that I belong each time I visit UMassFive. As a member, UMassFive feels like home.

What do you like best about UMassFive?
I like the UMassFive Points System the best—be it Co-op or Buzz Points. I think the idea of the points system is ingenious and customer friendly! I use my points in various ways—it's nice to see [them] accumulate and that it helps knock off some fees that other financial institutions would ordinarily charge their customers. I would describe the Co-op Points as a stress reducer! haha

What do you do in your free time?
I read books and mostly do things that enhance my well-being including connecting with God to fuel up. Because I have many lives, and juggle a lot of things all day long, I think it's important that I stay grounded. I also go to the gym. Importantly, I genuinely enjoy hanging out with my family, and sometimes friends.

What is your favorite food?
Red beans and plantains with peppered dried fish sauce.

What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
A Counseling Psychologist!

If you were stranded on a deserted island and could only have three items with you, what would they be?
A blanket, my Bible, and a bottled water with a cup-like cover.
