Meet Alaya Kitch! Alaya has been part of the SMB team for seven years and is the Assistant Branch Manager at our 32nd & McClelland location. As a heart failure survivor herself, Alaya gives back to our community by serving on the Four States Heart Walk Committee. The committee organizes an annual heart walk to raise money for the American Heart Association. Outside of the bank, you can find her spending time with her husband and three boys. They enjoy taking walks in nature, attending concerts, and spending their Saturday mornings at the farmers' market. Reach out to Alaya to see how she can help you with any personal, business, or non-profit banking needs!
