As a professional banking figure within a small community, I understand the importance of indelible customer service and community involvement. I have lived and worked within the Johnston County community for over 16 years. I've had the pleasure of working for KS Bank for the past 9 years and joined the Smithfield team in July as their Lead Relationship Banker.

Edward Jones - Kitty Johnson, Financial Advisor
Financial Advisor

As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I believe it's important to invest my time to understand what your goals are before you invest your money. Once we understand your priorities, we can help you identify specific financial goals and develop strategies to help you work toward achieving them. Whether you need to save for a child's or grandchild's education, reduce taxes, plan for retirement or protect the financial future of the ones you care about most, I can help. 

Being from Johnston County, I understand the value of relationships, integrity and family. My proudest accomplishment is being Mommy to my daughter born in April 2020. When I'm not being a mother, wife or daughter, I volunteer with the Kiwanis Club of Angier. and I've spent the last several years serving on the Chamber board.

In addition to working directly with the customers, I help identify sales opportunities, manage branch personnel, open new accounts, and manage deposits and profitability for the branch.
Being a part of the local community is important to me and I strive to stay actively involved. In addition to my business degree, I am also a graduate of the Leadership Johnston Program. I have served on the board for the Kenly Area Chamber of Commerce as VP and Treasurer over the last eight years and NJHS Panther Club for 4 years. I am a native of Pine Level and currently reside in Kenly.
