There, she oversaw financial operations across multiple locations and held several management positions, including accounting manager and senior finance manager.
Austin holds a bachelor’s degree in accounting from the University of Maine at Augusta.
Established on the University of Maine campus in 1967, University Credit Union has branches in Bangor, Farmington, Gorham, Orono, Portland, Presque Isle and Machias. As a not-for-profit financial cooperative, the credit union returns its profits to members.
