Wolfe was one of five finalists from across the nation from industry giants such as Intel and Unilever vying for the award, which was announced during National Mentoring Month.

Wolfe was nominated by Webster Sarbanes-Oxley Analyst Nicole Fry, one of the 80 young professionals who have benefited from Wolfe's advice and encouragement. When Fry came on board at the bank in 2017, she was honored to have such a trusted role model as her mentor.

Prior to that, she was in private practice and was a vice president and senior counsel at Shawmut Bank Connecticut. She also serves as a board member of the University of Connecticut Foundation Inc. and as a member of the Foundation's Audit Committee.
