Why am I a Mortgage Lender?

I have always been drawn to helping people, whether it’s something simple like translating a document or helping them start a resume. I decided to become a community mortgage lender because I feel there is a need for education, especially for the homebuyers with whom I will be working. I have been part of the same community for almost 30 years, and I want to be able to give back by offering guidance and my expertise so that my customers feel confident when buying their home.

My Experience:

I have worked for a nonprofit for nearly fifteen years. For the past eight years, I worked with VNA Health as a family case manager providing support to pregnant women and infants. I also worked on the Fresh First program, focusing on patients with diabetes. We distributed educational health information and a fresh box of produce to promote healthy eating. Before VNA Health, I worked at Breaking Free as a prevention specialist where I worked with children during and after school, implementing drug prevention curriculum. I have always enjoyed working with my community which is why I believe that my work with FNBO will make an impact.

Interesting to Know:

I am married to my wonderful husband, and we have a little boy who is four. I enjoy spending time with them any chance I have. We like to go on bike rides, explore new places like pumpkin patches, farms, and campsites, and anything that gets us outdoors. I used to run marathons, and I am looking forward to distance running again—even if it’s just a 5K.
