Before mortgages, I was an Air Force Officer — which means my entire professional foundation was built on discipline, leadership, and making clear decisions under pressure. I learned how to manage people, read situations fast, and communicate in a way that keeps everyone aligned and moving. That experience taught me how to stay calm when things get messy, how to solve problems before they become problems, and how to lead from a place of confidence instead of ego.

Those skills didn’t disappear when I left the military — they became the backbone of how I run my mortgage business today.

After the Air Force, I spent years as a corporate project manager — running 80+ active client projects at once and leading a team of more than 25 people. That role required systems, structure, and the ability to see ten steps ahead while still catching the tiny details that could derail a timeline.

It taught me how to streamline processes, implement technology that actually works, and keep communication crystal clear across large groups with different priorities. I learned how to manage the temperature of a project, spot risks early, and keep complex moving pieces running smoothly — which is exactly why my mortgage pipeline feels organized, predictable, and drama-free.

Everything I do now is built on the operational rigor and efficiency that job demanded.

When I left my corporate career, I built and scaled my own fractional project management agency to over $650,000 a year with a small but mighty team of five. I worked with small businesses across multiple industries to implement technology, automate workflows, and operationalize their systems so they could grow without burning out.

That experience gave me a front-row seat to what it takes to run a high-performing business: clarity, efficiency, accountability, and smart tech. I tap into that knowledge every single day in my mortgage practice — from how I build my funnels, to how I structure my team, to how I streamline the buyer experience from first touch to closing.

It’s the reason my entire operation feels organized, strategic, and scalable… because I’ve already built a scalable business before.

After building a successful service-based agency, I transitioned into teaching other women how to do the same. I ran my coaching company for four years and scaled it to over $1M per year, helping over 5,000 women turn their existing corporate skills into profitable online businesses. It was meaningful, it was impactful, and it was one of the most energizing chapters of my career.

But even in the middle of the success, I could always feel a “timer” running. I loved the work, but I never saw myself coaching forever. I wanted a career that pulled all of my strengths together — leadership, systems, communication, numbers, operations, and my ability to teach — and channelled them into something I could build long-term.

That desire is what led me on the hunt to find the “next chapter” which has led me to where I am today!

I stepped into the mortgage industry in February 2025… and instantly realized just how outdated, archaic, and behind the times it really was. Everyone was marketing to agents, not buyers. Everyone was recycling the same scripts, the same strategies, and the same chest-puffing “mortgage pro” energy that buyers have been rolling their eyes at for years.

It became obvious right away: if I simply did things the way everyone else did, I’d blend right into the background. But if I built a model that truly served buyers first — through education, clarity, content, and strategy — I could change the experience entirely. That’s where the “Not Another Mortgage Bro” approach was born.

And because I’ve always been a natural team builder, I didn’t try to do it alone. I leaned into what I’m great at and immediately outsourced the rest. I intentionally built a women-led team around me—smart, communicative, detail-oriented women who understand the vision and want to create something different with me. Together, we’re building an experience that doesn’t look or feel like anything the industry has offered before… and that’s exactly the point.
