As a Child, my parents would have probably described me as precocious, creative, and driven. I wanted to be an entrepreneur (although I did not understand the meaning of the word at that time) since I was a little girl. Getting my start with lemonade stands and campfire sales, and at the age of 16, I started working with my father on plans to start drive through coffee shops in California. My favorite class in school was always math, I especially loved story problems. I did not know then, that I would grow up to be in a career where I spent every day solving problems and creating solutions in order to help people obtain their dream of home ownership or facilitate a refinance.
I grew up in Seattle Washington and moved to San Diego California at the age of 18. In 2001, I started my career in the mortgage industry as a Loan consultant. I had plans to go to San Diego State in the second trimester and was offered a position a few months before school started. I was the youngest in my office by at least 10 years and the only female loan officer. I knew right away I had found my calling and could not wait to sink my teeth into my new career despite the odds that seemingly were against me. Within months, I became the top loan consultant within my office and would go on for the next two years to continually receive awards and recognition for my high closing volume each month.
Fast forward to 17 years later, and I am still just as passionate about my career, if not more so. I believe what makes my career so enjoyable is helping people, and surmounting what is seemingly impossible, and making it possible for many people.
