Courtney Thompson recently joined the North Suffolk office of the financial services firm Edward Jones as a branch office administrator.

The title of branch office administrator was adopted for this position at Edward Jones because of the wide range of responsibilities associated with the job.

“A branch office administrator is not only responsible for the daily operation of the branch but also must provide top-level client service and marketing support for my activities,” said Shandre Harasty, local financial advisor for the firm.

Harasty added that she was impressed not only with Thompson’s office skills and efficiency but also with her knowledge of the community. “I know she will be a terrific asset to our team as we strive to provide our clients unparalleled personal service,” Harasty said.

Thompson has lived in Suffolk for almost 30 years.

Harasty’s branch office is located at 1500 Breezeport Way, Suite 300. She can be reached at 686-2760.
