About Me

What motivates you to help customers reach their financial goals?

What motivates me the most as a Mortgage Loan Officer is knowing I get to be apart of the most significant milestone in someone’s life. I take pride in guiding my borrowers through what can be a complex and stressful process and help them feel informed and empowered. Whether its helping First Time Home Buyers, clients building their dream homes or simply refinancing a mortgage, being apart of this life-changing process is truly rewarding.

What trends are you currently seeing in the lending industry?

Through reaching out and taking the steps to sit down and talk about the homebuying process, I am able to give my clients the tools they need to be ready for this important step. I am seeing more and more folks breaking barriers and becoming the first in their family to own a home. Its great!

What’s a fun or unique fact about you that people wouldn’t know?

I love learning new things, meeting new people and experiencing different cultures through food and travel.

What’s the best financial advice you’ve ever received?

“You don’t spend what you don’t have”. The best financial advice I ever received was having a set percentage of my income directly taken out of my paycheck and go into a separate bank account that I had little access to. I never missed the funds and it added up to small chunks that I was able to use to pay off my student loans in record time. I still use this technique and it helps with paying off large purchases and saving for the future. I often share this with my clients that are struggling with saving for a home.
