Tesia works with institutions that promote banking access among underserved communities, and she continues to find ways to make a difference in the financial health of those in the Third District.
Tesia Lemelle started her career in traditional banking, but when she joined our Supervision, Regulation, and Credit department, she had an opportunity to take her passion for helping people with their financial lives further than before. She’s making her mark by working with minority banks, ensuring access to banking services in places where there may not be a traditional bank.
She and her colleagues recognized that the Philadelphia Fed has the expertise and reach to educate young people about consumer protection issues and personal finance, creating a program that gives students the tools and information they need to make smart personal finance decisions.
