Throughout my professional journey, I’ve traversed diverse paths, each contributing to the tapestry of my skills and values. For nearly two decades, I honed my craft as a massage therapist, specializing in alleviating physical and emotional stress for my clients. This profession instilled in me the importance of empathy, patience, and the power of meaningful human connections.

Over two years ago, I embarked on a new adventure as a Loan Officer Assistant in the mortgage industry. I found myself drawn to the world of finance, where I could continue to make a profound impact on people’s lives, albeit in a different way. As I assisted clients and supported Loan Officers, I recognized the parallels between my previous career and my current role. Just as I once soothed clients’ physical and emotional tensions, I now have the privilege of alleviating their financial stresses, guiding them towards achieving their homeownership dreams.

In my transition to becoming a Loan Officer, I bring with me a wealth of experiences and a commitment to providing a level of care and support that goes beyond traditional lending. I believe that the heart of any successful venture lies in the genuine relationships we build. Thus, my journey from massage therapy to mortgage lending is guided by my deep love for people and my unwavering dedication to my family.

At the core of everything I do is a genuine passion for connecting with individuals, understanding their unique needs, and helping them navigate the complexities of the mortgage process. I approach my work with a client-centric mindset, focusing on tailored solutions, clear communication, and a steadfast commitment to making the experience as smooth and stress-free as possible.
