Years of customer service, sales, and entrepreneurial ventures have shaped my relationship-focused approach to mortgage lending. Clarity, education, and communication are the three main goals I focus on with every client. This approach makes me a trusted advisor to my long-term clients and a valued partner to my network of realtors and other professionals who support me in providing exceptional service to my clients.
My years in customer service, sales, and entrepreneurial ventures have shaped my relationship-focused approach to mortgage lending. My reputation as a trusted advisor to first- and long-time clients is based on transparency, education, and flawless communication. I’ve also applied these principles when building my extensive professional network.
My approach to life is also shaped by the fact that I’m a two-time cancer survivor. My first bout was in 2015, with a second more aggressive fight in 2019 and 2020. These experiences helped me find gratitude and I now live a more purpose-driven life. Helping others get “unstuck” from their un-serving habits and self-dialogue has blossomed as a passion. In my recent interview for the Invictus Mindset podcast, I described how storytelling can help us connect with others in a profound and impactful way. As a result, I’ve begun writing my story of resilience in hopes that it will help others discover their path to a purpose-driven life.
