Oparowski joined the credit union in October 2020 and has quickly established herself as an innovative, authentic leader dedicated to executing PSECU’s member experience vision and strategy.
In her current role, Oparowski balances the growth vision and long-term digital member experience strategy with near-term execution to create a seamless member experience.
She loves to travel with her husband and two daughters. She volunteers her time with her church’s Haiti outreach committee and teaches religious education.
Richards pursued her master’s in business administration at Keller DeVry University and also obtained a bachelor’s in sales management from Florida Atlantic University. She has held several positions in sales, marketing, and public relations in the hospitality, food, and consumer goods industries.
Prior to joining PSECU, Candice directed the marketing and public relations efforts for a Caribbean franchise chain in New York with over 100 stores located across nine states.
