With over 10 years of experience helping hundreds of homebuyers secure the right mortgage, I take a client-centric approach rooted in trust, education, and financial guidance. I'm known for building lasting relationships and delivering a seamless, personalized homebuying experience. My goal is to serve not just as a lender, but as a trusted financial partner throughout the journey.

With over 25 years of market and economic experience—and the past 10 focused specifically on the California real estate market—I bring deep local insight and a strong understanding of regional trends, lending practices, and buyer needs. This expertise allows me to guide clients with confidence through California’s dynamic housing landscape.

Outside of work, I’m a proud parent and active in my local community, including volunteer efforts and charitable events. I enjoy spending time outdoors, exploring California’s natural beauty, and staying involved in youth activities and leadership development.
