I graduated from UC Santa Barbara with a degree in Accounting. My early experiences in Accounting and Finance honed my expertise in analyzing client assets and liabilities – including complex borrower profiles, complicated tax returns, and sophisticated estate planning structures – and matching clients with ideal loan options. I joined Rate because the range of product options gives me the most flexibility in meeting a broader variety of client needs. Relationships matter to me, and I care deeply about finding an ideal solution and providing direct and timely communication about the options and process. I choose partners that I trust to provide an equally solution-minded experience to buying a home and refinancing. I have been trusted as the preferred lender for some of the top Realtors in the country because I find the right options, provide clear communication, and get things done. I handpicked my team, who have extensive experience in underwriting and processing, and have worked with me for many years. As a top 1% originator for over 10 years with over $1B in closed loans, including purchases, refinances, and HELOCs, I am well versed in working with borrowers to provide a successful experience. While I am based in San Diego, CA, I am licensed and work regularly in over 30 states. Please reach out to me any time.
