WOMEN in<br />

BUSINESS<br />

Destiny Lankford<br />

Centennial Bank / Mortgage Loan Officer NMLS #1961683<br />

Destiny, a Mortgage Loan Officer with Centennial Bank, grew<br />

up in Mount Vernon and completed her education at Arkansas<br />

Tech University with a degree in Public Relations. Her husband<br />

completed flight school at Fort Rucker, Alabama, and, once completed,<br />

the opportunity became available to call <strong>Faulkner</strong> County home once<br />

again. “We knew it would be the perfect place to raise our family,”<br />

Destiny says. Destiny and her husband have two sons, Dyson<br />

and Denver, with another on the way. “They keep us on our<br />

toes and make life so fun. My husband is a Blackhawk pilot<br />

for the Army. With his work, mine and the boys’ activities<br />

lives are crazy, but the beautiful kind of crazy.”<br />

Of what she most enjoys about living and working in<br />

<strong>Faulkner</strong> County, Destiny says, “Everything! I love the school<br />

systems, the fact that it’s big but feels like such a small, close<br />

community. Mostly, I love the people. I love that people from<br />

all over Arkansas come here, and they never want to leave.”<br />

She attributes her success to her amazing support system, “I<br />

have an amazing support system in my family and a mother<br />

who taught me an incredible work ethic. A company that is<br />

always providing growth and opportunity. One that also<br />

has some incredible role models and leaders who have<br />

helped guide and teach me along the way.”<br />

Destiny’s advice to those just starting out is, “Never<br />

give up! I started at Centennial Bank in Loan Operations<br />

and have had four different positions before<br />

landing where I am now. Hard work, dedication, and<br />

loyalty go a long way and will get you where you<br />

want to be; just be patient and have faith.”<br />

Of what she most enjoys about living and<br />

working in <strong>Faulkner</strong> County:<br />

“ Everything! I<br />

love the school systems, the fact that it‘s big<br />

but feels like such a small, close community.<br />

Mostly, I love the people. I love that people<br />

from all over Arkansas come here, and<br />

they never want to leave.<br />
