KIMBALL – Maggie Laughlin of Kimball has been working in the banking world ever since she was 13 years old, and it has become her passion.

“I got my first job by happenstance,” said Laughlin. “Kimball is a small town, everyone knows everyone. I was with my dad at the drive through of First Tier Bank in Kimball when the head cashier, who had known my family my whole life, asked what I was doing during the summer. My dad told him I wasn’t sure yet, so the head cashier asked if I wanted a job. My parents had to sign a work release because of my age. I either walked or rode my bike to work every day. That’s where it all started.”
