Cara Rossi is a Credit Analyst for Hyperion Bank, bringing 26 years’ banking experience to the role. She has spent the last 20 years partnering with business clients in the tristate area, assisting in evaluating their efficiencies, finances and time management.

Cara began her banking career as a teller, working her way to branch manager in 2004. She has assisted a wide variety of businesses with their banking needs across many industries. Her favorite part of the job? “I’ve had the pleasure of meeting the most interesting people,” she says.

Having lived in South Philadelphia all of her life, Cara is proudly the second-generation of her family born in America, with ancestors hailing from Sicily and Greece. Her husband Billy is her best friend and travel partner. Together they have three wonderful children: The youngest daughter is in her second year at Penn State (nursing), their son is a casino dealer at Harrah’s and the oldest daughter works for a criminal court judge in the city since graduating from college, and is Mom to Cara and Billy’s two amazing grandsons, with whom they enjoy spending time. The family also includes two fur babies, Stitch and Flynn, who are more like dogs than cats; grand-dog Ella also loves to sleep over.

Away from work, Cara makes almost anything from scratch, “thanks to lessons from my mom and grand moms.” Her hobbies also include traveling “every chance I get,” so she has a passport wall where she has collected stickers from every destination.

Cara has been to every state on the East Coast from Maine to Key West and has been to every destination in the Beach Boys’ song “Kokomo.” For the record that’s: Aruba, Jamaica, Bermuda, Bahamas, Key Largo, Montego, Kokomo (natch), Martinique, Montserrat, Mustique, and Port Au Prince. (You’re humming the song now, right?)

Cara is a published writer by way of a poem she wrote in 2003 that was published in a book of poetry and a short story that was published on a ghost story web site.
