Embers Welcomes New Senior Mortgage Loan Officer - Magan Peterson

We are so excited to welcome the newest member of the Embers Credit Union team, Magan Peterson! With her extensive background and deep community roots, Magan is a fantastic addition to our crew.

MARQUETTE, MICHIGAN – NOVEMBER 2025 – Embers is excited to welcome Magan to our team as a seasoned lending professional with a heart for community.

Magan joins us with 20 years of experience in lending and banking. For the last four years, she has dedicated her skills to the credit union world, where she discovered a true passion for helping members achieve their financial goals.

She lives in Manistique with her husband, their two kids, and their spoiled springer spaniel, Birdie. Magan is deeply committed to her hometown and volunteers her time with several local organizations. She serves as treasurer for both CBC (Cancer, Bay Cliff and Community Charities) and the Manistique Merchants, and she also helps organize the annual Manistique Car Show.

When she is not working, you can find Magan and her family embracing everything the Upper Peninsula has to offer. They love camping, riding bikes, and spending time at the lake. A favorite family road trip is heading to Grand Marais in the summer and fall to enjoy the sights, grab pizza and a beer from the brewery, and, most importantly for her son, pick up rocks along the shore.

Magan and her husband are avid golfers, a passion that inspired their dog’s name, Birdie. Once the kids are in bed, she enjoys a quiet night binge watching shows on Netflix. Her favorite food is simple and fun, fancy appetizers.

Magan was drawn to Embers Credit Union because of our focus on culture, community involvement, and genuine support for members. “I am so excited to join the Embers team,” she says. “Their focus on culture, volunteerism, and supporting their members and our communities connects with my own values. I am grateful for the chance to be part of a credit union that has such a great vibe and I cannot wait to share that in our communities.”

Her dedication to building relationships and supporting her community embodies the spirit of Embers Credit Union.
