Background

About Cassidy Cardozo

I’ve always had a passion for learning. Challenges excite me and adaptability is one of my proudest strengths. In childhood, my dream was to teach. I earned a degree in Early Childhood Education from Sam Houston State, but quickly discovered I preferred teaching peers rather than children. With a start in retail management, I shifted my education background into training colleagues and leading new employees. I created detailed associate work schedules, incorporating corporate standards and work-hours allotted. I led the sales team, exceeding goals both personally and store-wide, and took my recognized talents to help teach new stores the same techniques. My professional career then led me to begin working in Administration for a smaller company, where I consistently took on additional work to help grow the business, as well as new career strengths. Not long after, I became the Billing and Collections Supervisor, working as accounts receivable, managing open accounts and billing on-site clinics to corporate or individual businesses. I continued training new administrative assistants, as well as creating and updating company-wide resource manuals.During the pandemic, a job shift took me to a new administrative role, where I used internal systems to run record counts and prepare cost quotations for data services. I assisted sales staff by interpreting the sales quotes into legal licenses. In October of 2021, I began working with U.S. Bank as a CDO Portfolio Administrator. Being the most challenging role I’ve had, it’s also been the most rewarding. I enjoy the never-boring, fast-paced environment, where I interpret and execute trades and borrowings, maintain accurate record-keeping of all deal portfolio activity, prepare timely monthly reports and process quarterly payments.In my personal time, I absolutely love to travel. I strongly believe what I learn about the world, and myself, when traveling is the most valuable experience. Different cultures bring new perspective! Most recently, I’ve taken my mom on her first international trip to Ireland, hiked an active volcano in Guatemala, and marveled at fjords and northern lights in Norway.I enjoy personal finance, investment learning and budget planning. I love hiking and spending time outdoors. I’m also a fur-mom and an advocate for animal adoption. Adopt, don’t shop!
