With over 25 years of experience in the mortgage industry, my journey from Loan Officer Assistant to Co-Owner of Lender Express has shaped who I am today. Along the way, I’ve built a deep understanding of the industry, developed strong problem-solving skills, and discovered a true passion for helping others succeed. I believe success should be both rewarding and fun, and I strive to create that balance for my team and clients.

I got my start in 2000, working as an assistant to my mom, a mortgage professional. She believed in the “sink or swim” method, which forced me to dive in and figure things out on my own. I spent a lot of time researching guidelines and solving complicated loan issues, which gave me a strong foundation in the technical side of the mortgage process. That experience taught me to be resourceful, adaptable, and persistent.

Over the years, I moved from being a Loan Officer to running my own production team and later managing branches. By 2010, I was leading teams and mentoring others, using my knowledge to help them succeed. In December 2022, I became Co-Owner of Lender Express. This role allows me to combine my technical expertise with my passion for leadership as I guide loan officers and ensure our clients receive exceptional service.

I’ve built a reputation as a problem-solver because I know how to handle tricky loan scenarios. Whether it’s dealing with complex income structures or unique borrower situations, I enjoy finding creative solutions to help clients.

I’m also proud of my time serving in the military. Out of high school, I spent three years on active duty and then served another three years with the Air National Guard.

As a leader, I value teamwork and collaboration. I work hard to create an environment where everyone feels supported and encouraged to grow. I strive to be available because I want my team to know I’m invested in their success. To me, our wins are shared, and I want every loan officer to feel like an important part of our company’s success.

Outside of work, I enjoy music, travel, and connecting with people. I love exploring cities, meeting locals, and soaking in the culture. Though I grew up in Montana, Arizona is now my home, and I’m proud of the life and relationships I’ve built.

At Lender Express, my goal is to help others succeed. Whether it’s helping our team reach new heights or guiding clients through the mortgage process, I’m here to make the journey successful and enjoyable for everyone.
