Posted On: September 9, 2025 by Austin Bank in: Star of the Month
This month’s Star is a proactive, self-sufficient problem-solver. She has a positive, friendly, outgoing demeanor which sets the tone for those around her. We are excited to introduce you to Tammy Davidson, a Real Estate Specialist working from our Whitehouse annex.
Though Tammy exhibits each of these characteristics in the general performance of her day-to-day tasks, she specifically garnered the attention of coworkers during a recent implementation of the Empower mortgage loan system. While this was a new system to the bank and to all employees involved, Tammy was not afraid to dig in and find resolutions to issues that arose, determining what steps should be taken and then communicating her findings to others.
Never one to back down from a challenge, Tammy always has a willingness to help, and if she cannot do it herself, she’ll find someone who can. She takes ownership of a situation, asking good questions to ensure she can provide appropriate answers and building excellent relationships with all lending staff. Instead of just asking for an answer, Tammy works to understand a problem and do the research to find solutions. She’s also willing to do the same to help coworkers on their loan files. Once she has the knowledge, she willingly shares it, creating documents or charts to help train others in her department thus solidifying her role as a true team player. Tammy takes great pride in her work, and is committed to doing the job right the first time.
Originally from Kaplan, Louisiana, Tammy and her husband, Robbie, now reside in Arp. They have two children – Conner and Gavin – and four canine companions. She enjoys cooking - especially Cajun foods, reading, and spending time with family. Tammy joined the Austin Bank team in 2021 and has more than 20 years of banking experience. She holds an Associate’s degree in Accounting from Louisiana Technical College.
“Tammy is not afraid of the mortgage loan system and actively works to resolve issues and provide accurate loan documentation. She strives for excellence in all she does."
Brenda Williams, Executive Vice President/Director of Project Management, Whitehouse
“Tammy is committed to helping the lending staff overcome any challenges encountered during the mortgage lifecycle. Her thoroughness and versatility make her an invaluable asset to the department.”
Katie Branton, Vice President/Mortgage Systems Administrator, Whitehouse
“Tammy is a great asset to the Austin Bank family. She is a dedicated team member to front-line and back-room staff who takes pride in performing her job duties. Tammy’s expertise in consumer real estate and software systems have proven she is a ‘go-to person’ when others need assistance, including myself.”
Karrie Fields, Vice President/HMDA Department Manager, Whitehouse
