At EverBank, we celebrate leaders who turn purpose into action—those who see opportunities to uplift communities and boldly step forward to make a difference. Yasna Patel is one of those leaders. Her initiative, compassion and vision have helped shape EverBank’s growing presence in Southern California.
Yasna played a pivotal role in initiating EverBank’s partnership with Families Forward, an organization dedicated to preventing and ending homelessness by providing access to housing, food, education and long term stability.
Thanks to her leadership, our Southern California associates have supported the organization through meaningful, hands-on service, including:
Each activity reflects Yasna’s commitment to strengthening families, promoting stability, and creating pathways to brighter futures.

A Leader Who Inspires Through Service
Yasna’s impact is felt not only in the community but also among the associates who volunteer alongside her. Her authenticity and passion make every event meaningful.
I'm thankful to work with such an inspiring team at EverBank that encourages innovation, collaboration, and heart. A huge thank you to the mentors, leaders, and teammates who continue to inspire and challenge me every day — this recognition is as much yours as it is mine.
