Lovett-Reid’s career journey is one filled with admiration, inspiration, and a strong sense of determination. Her career began right out of high school as a bank teller and with no formal post-secondary education, and a low glass-ceiling for women in finance, her career was unlikely to blossom beyond branch management.
