Jolanta Huremovic Mortgage Servicing Specialist
Jolanta Huremovic still remembers the day Tom Rudzewick greeted her by name just two weeks into her Loan Review Specialist position in the Loan Center. “’Good morning, Jolanta,’ he said. I was like ‘Whoa, that’s amazing! The man knows my name!’” she exclaims. “He knows everyone’s name. I will never forget that.” A few months after joining Maspeth Federal Savings a Teller in 2015, Jolanta transferred to a Mortgage Servicing position in the Loan Center. Several years later, she moved to New Loans in the Servicing Department, where she facilitated processes related to loan origination. Today, she is responsible for ensuring borrowers have up-to-date insurance and working to make them compliant if not. Prior to MFS, Jolanta worked many years in customer-facing roles for Chase Bank. Today, she enjoys the more relaxed nature of back-office work and the company of her coworkers. “In Servicing, we always have fun. I enjoy my job and genuinely look forward to coming in every day.” Born in Poland, Jolanta came to the United States after high school. “My beginnings were hard because I had to learn the language, and I couldn’t go back to school,” she recalls. Though she was a registered nurse in Poland, she was unable to pass the required English exams in the US. After taking courses, she started working as a bank teller in 1987, which was a boon to her English. “It was also good because people were interested in my accent, so they come up to you and ask questions, and they learn about you, too.” Today, Jolanta says she has accomplished everything she wanted. “I’m happy where I am, but if something opens up, why not? I don’t mind trying something.” She credits her sense of work ethic and responsibility to her father, a major in the Polish army. Outside of work, Jolanta enjoys “playing tourist” from time to time, traveling to experience different cultures. She and husband Bratzo of 30 years also enjoy fishing and snowmobiling at their property in Pennsylvania with their son Bruce, who followed in his grandfather’s military footsteps by joining the US Navy before settling in Seattle. “My life is sweet as it is. I’m happy and enjoying my work. As long as I’m healthy and everybody around me is healthy, it’s all good.”
