Modern Lending.
Real Clarity.
Zero Guesswork.
I believe buying a home should feel empowering — not overwhelming. My approach is simple: teach, guide, and strategize. Because when you understand your numbers, your options, and your plan… you make smarter decisions, and you actually enjoy the process.
Mortgage Loan Originator, Air Force veteran, and the kind of lender who actually explains what’s happening behind the scenes.

Not Your Average Lender
Let’s be honest — the mortgage industry hasn’t always been known for transparency.
Most people leave their first mortgage conversation
with more questions than answers.
I’m not another mortgage bro reading rates off a screen. I break it all down in plain English — to help you understand why your loan looks the way it does and how to make the smartest move for your goals.
My clients don’t just “get approved.”
They get educated, empowered, and equipped with a plan that actually makes sense.
That’s where I come in.
The Values Behind Every Client Interaction
Transparency
You’ll always know what’s happening, why it’s happening, and what’s coming next.
Education
You deserve to understand your financing — not just sign off on it.
Strategy
Every loan should fit your financial goals, not the other way around.
Integrity
Doing what’s right, every time, even when it’s not the easy route.
Empowerment
My goal is to make sure you leave this process more confident than when you started.
Experience, matters.
Before becoming a mortgage professional, I spent years leading teams, building systems, and coaching people toward big goals. That experience now allows me to translate the complex world of home financing into clear, actionable guidance — so my clients understand every part of the process.
-
The military taught me precision, accountability, and calm under pressure — all things you want when navigating one of the biggest financial decisions of your life.
That discipline shows up in how I communicate, plan, and anticipate challenges before they happen. -
I managed massive, multi-layered projects — budgets, deadlines, and teams moving in every direction.
Now I apply that same structure to lending: keeping every detail organized, every milestone on track, and every client updated without the guesswork. -
Before mortgages, I built & ran a coaching business helping women turn ideas into income.
(I coached over 5,000 women in a 5 year span!)
That experience taught me how to teach — to break down complex topics in a way that actually clicks.
Now, I use those same skills to explain mortgages in plain English, empowering clients to make confident, informed decisions.
Every role I’ve held has sharpened one core skill — communication. And that’s what sets my team & I apart. We don’t just hand you numbers. We make sure you understand them.
