With Wells Fargo, you don’t just build a career. You build a life. I’m Sarah Jean Valladares, senior control management specialist at Wells Fargo. When I first joined Wells Fargo, managing my finances was very tough as a breadwinner. But with free financial literacy courses, everything changed.

With Wells Fargo, I learned how to save, get insurance, and even purchase a home in the Philippines, fulfilling my parents dream. I don’t think I would be in my position right now without Wells Fargo. I really felt I was trusted. I was given all the opportunity to attend trainings, seminars and mentorship, and even showcase my skills.

My name is Sarah Jean Valladares, and I’m living the Well Life.
