I moved to Bend, OR in July of 2002.  I live here with my wonderful husband Jon, our daughter Dylan, our son Hunter and a 30lb Boston Terrier named Diesel.  I feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful place to live and raise my family.  I love helping people start their dream of homeownership in such a beautiful place.

I was born and raised in the Seattle area, graduating from Washington State University with a marketing degree.  I began my career in the appraisal industry in the early 90's but after several years, wanted to expand my knowledge into other facets of the real estate industry.  I switched gears to work as a loan coordinator and became an expert on the intricate dynamics of the lending field from the inside out.  During that time I passed the exam for my Washington Real Estate License and even worked in commercial real estate as an assistant to a commercial real estate broker.  Although I enjoyed my time spent in commercial real estate, I realized my true passion was in the lending profession and went back to processing mortgage loans.  After a few years processing mortgages, I wanted to start serving people directly and I became a loan officer.  This is where I feel most comfortable and know I am helping people the best way I know how. 

My diverse experience in the industry means that my clientele can be assured their loan application process will go smoothly from start to finish.  I make sure all of your questions are answered and I work hard to make the whole process easy for you.  I am enthusiastic about helping people increase their wealth by becoming homeowners.  In addition, I pride myself on being ethical, trustworthy and providing excellent customer service.

I look forward to working with you and because my business is referral based, I would greatly appreciate referrals of your friends and family.  I am here to be your lender for life!
