I never planned to fall in love with mortgages.

I planned to help people — and it turned out the mortgage industry needed someone who actually would.

More than thirteen years ago, I started as a loan officer because I wanted work that felt meaningful day to day. What I didn't expect was how much I'd come to love the moment a client realizes homeownership isn't some far-off thing reserved for other people — it's actually possible for them, right now, with the right guidance.

Since then, I've guided hundreds of homeowners through purchases, refinances, and construction loans — from first-timers who'd never seen a closing document to investors juggling properties across state lines. Every one of them taught me something about what people actually need from a lender: less jargon, more honesty, and someone who picks up the phone.

Outside of work, you'll find me on the Deschutes with my Bend Oregon Outrigger Canoe team, knee-deep in a woodworking project that's taking longer than planned, or just being mom to my two boys. I live here in Bend with my husband, and this community is a huge part of why I do this work the way I do.
