I believe buying a home should feel exciting, not intimidating. With many years in the mortgage world and a background as both a processor and underwriter, I bring a behind-the-scenes perspective that helps my clients feel confident every step of the way. I officially stepped into my role as a Loan Officer in 2025 and was honored to be named the GNB Mortgage 2025 Rookie of the Year, proof that experience plus heart goes a long way.

My approach to lending is simple: clear communication, genuine care, and a commitment to helping people feel confident in one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives. I’ve seen this industry from every angle, and I love using that experience to make the process smoother and less stressful for my clients.

Outside of work, I’m a proud mom to one son, bonus mom to three amazing step kids, and “Gigi” to the sweetest granddaughter who quickly became the light of my life. Currently I’m calling Michigan home, however, I’ve also been lucky enough to live in Iowa, Tennessee, and Wisconsin, so I truly understand that “home” is more than just a place, it’s a feeling.

Think of me as your trusted guide, here to educate, answer the “random” questions, and make the mortgage process feel clear, smooth, and even a little enjoyable.

If you’re ready to take the next step toward homeownership, or just want a trusted professional to talk things through – I’d love to connect and help you get started.
