Carla Gokey | Sales & Marketing Manager

My name is Carla Gokey and I am a Sales and Marketing Representative for North Mill.  I grew up in Astoria, Queens, NY and graduated from Queens College with a Bachelors in Liberal Arts. I have a curious mind and I enjoy learning, reading and I am a huge baseball fan – Go Yankees!  I have two beautiful children that are the reason I stumbled into a career in customer service. I began my career in banking as a Teller for Hudson Valley Bank which allowed me to hone my skills in service and still allowed me the time to be home with my children. I quickly realized that helping others was task I enjoyed and I did it well. As my career progressed, I left Hudson Valley Bank and went to work for Wells Fargo formally known as Wachovia and I was there for 10 years and wore many hats; Service Banker, Customer Sales & Service Representative and Service Manager. I decided to end my career in banking but continued to focus on perfecting my skills which led me to North Mill Equipment Finance. From the minute I stepped off the elevator and was led down the hall to where the office area is,  I knew this was the place I wanted to work for and I’m super happy I am. In the short time that I have been with North Mill, I have learned a lot, I have been able to apply my skills and be part of the success of a growing company and knowing that I played a small part in their success.
