Founding Branch Manager, CA

Licensed loan originator in CA
With over 24 years of experience in retail and mortgage banking, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a steady hand to every transaction. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of guiding clients through one of the most important financial decisions of their lives — and I approach that responsibility with care, clarity, and commitment. I believe the best outcomes come from building trust, staying proactive, and making sure my clients feel informed and supported every step of the way.

Though I’m based in the San Francisco Bay Area, I work with clients across the country and enjoy helping people navigate a wide variety of markets and financial goals. Whether someone is buying their first home, refinancing, or exploring investment opportunities, I offer a calm, experienced perspective that helps simplify what can often feel like an overwhelming process.

Outside of work, I’m a proud parent to two sons who recently graduated from UC Santa Barbara. I also have a lovable, high-energy dog who keeps me active with daily beach walks — a favorite part of my routine that keeps me grounded and grateful. I value strong relationships, thoughtful conversations, and bringing a sense of ease and clarity to every client interaction.
