Growing up with parents who owned a mortgage company for thirty plus years…I can say mortgage is in my blood. I started working for their company in high school. After college I decided to go into television to become a meteorologist (weather girl). But finding I disliked working in front of the camera I ended up being a television producer for entertainment shows. In the entertainment industry, I met my husband.


After 9/11 happened I decided to exit the TV industry and return to the mortgage world. Starting in new home sales, I then transitioned into working for a new home builder's in-house mortgage company. I took a short time off to raise our daughter and son. Then returned to help families qualify for their dream home.


As a loan consultant, I will walk borrowers through every step of the loan process and support them from pre-approval through their closing date. I like to provide many tools for borrowers to utilize to ensure a stress-free experience. Whether someone is a first-time home buyer or seasoned buyer, they can trust me and my team with all their home financing needs.
