With over 18 years of expertise in mortgage loan origination, I have a proven track record of success. Recognized as the consistent top performer for Land Home Financial Services’ elite President’s Club from 2019 to 2023, and earning the distinction of being one of the Top 10 Preferred Lenders in the State for the Iowa Finance Authority, I take pride in building trust and transparency with both the agents I work with and the customers I service. Having a background in Mathematics and Analytics, I approach challenges with a distinct viewpoint. I thrive on finding creative cost-saving solutions for every customer’s unique situation. My commitment to excellence allows me to approach everything with a fresh perspective and out-of-the-box thinking. Let’s set up some time to talk. I’m dedicated to winning you and your customers over with hard work, tailored attention to individual needs, and an easy approach. I make the loan process fun!
