UCU’s Campus Branch Managers are located on the University of Maine, University of Southern Maine, and University of Maine Presque Isle. Whether a student at one of our campuses, a prospective or existing member across the state, our Campus Branch Managers are available to answer any questions you may have on products/services, or assist you with financial counseling. All three UCU Campus Branch Managers have successfully completed the Financial Counseling Certification Program (FiCEP) through the Credit Union National Association (CUNA). With this designation, UCU can offer members counseling during financial difficulties or financial literacy for others. The ultimate goal is to guide members to financial security. Let’s meet the team!
Jennifer Deschene, CCUFC
Jenn grew up in northern Maine and attended the University of Maine at Presque Isle. After graduation in 2000, she relocated to the Bangor area and began working for a local credit union where she held a variety of positions. She relocated to the southern Maine area with her family in 2012, and eventually relocated back to her roots in northern Maine in 2015 where she is currently the UCU Campus Branch Manager for UCU on the UMPI campus. Jenn resides in Presque Isle with her husband, Clint and two children, Reagen and Duke. When not working, Jenn enjoys watching her children play sports, golfing, volunteering in her community and traveling to tropical destinations!
Lesley Ridge, CCUFC
Lesley grew up in Gardiner, ME area and currently lives in Portland, ME. After graduating from the University of Southern Maine, she loved the southern Maine area so much she stayed! She holds a Bachelor of Science (BS) Degree in Business Management from USM, and a Certificate in Professional Human Resources (PHR). When Lesley is not busy at work, she enjoys building perennial flower gardens, Zumba/Fitness classes, being a Boston Sports Fan, all things British (Mum was from England), and walking and running fitness trails in the Southern Maine Area. She resides in Portland with her husband Bob, and has two adult children Brittany and Bobby.
Randy Manzo, CCUFC
Randy grew up in Brewer, ME and has always had a desire to travel which led him to a variety of stints ranging from Portland ME, Miami, FL, and Houston, TX. Randy began as a UCU teller in 2017, and quickly progressed through the ranks to his current position in Orono as the UMaine – Campus Branch Manager. When Randy is not working, he is generally with family or friends, watching sports (primarily basketball and football, GO LAKERS / Lions). He enjoys traveling and when it comes to music, rap music is Randy’s absolute passion. Fall is his favorite season and he is sure you are just as excited as he is about sweater weather, pumpkins, and other festivities.
