Arnold Native Gives Back While Helping Homebuyers

Arnold native, Donna Mitchell, has joined Paramount Mortgage Company as a Mortgage Banker. Mitchell’s decision to leave a long career with Commerce Bank was made easier knowing that Paramount would reinforce two of Donna’s passions- community service and customer service.

Paramount, headquartered in Creve Coeur and with a coast-to-coast presence in the mortgage industry, has a longstanding commitment to giving back to the communities they serve, and supports their employees in doing the same. For Mitchell, this means she will be able to continue to serve on the board with Angels’ Arms, an organization she has been committed to for over a decade, helping foster families in the St Louis area.  Donna also volunteers with other nonprofits such as Junior Achievement and Friends of Kids with Cancer and serves as a Co-Chairman for the Ambassador’s Committee for the South County Chamber of Commerce. Paramount shows its commitment to these same types of charities through its Golden Rule Committee, which was created to allow for monthly monetary donations, fundraisers, and community service projects.

“Paramount’s integrity, along with its business and charitable philosophy really attracted me. They keep their customers’ best interest top of mind, guide them toward smart choices that will provide financial well-being, and consistently help those in need,” said Mitchell.

Donna currently resides in Fenton, where she has previously served on the Fenton Charitable Contributions Committee and still has close ties to her Arnold roots. She teaches a boot camp fitness class at the Arnold Recreational Center four days a week and runs the Arnold Running Club. She has a genuine interest for helping people and being an involved member in her community.

“We’re pleased to have Donna join our team and know her years of experience will be an asset to her role as a loan originator and to Paramount,” said H. John Frank, Paramount Mortgage Company President.
