The Homeplus Mortgage Team

Born and raised in Southern California, I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from Cal State University, Long Beach. I have always been a numbers person so the mortgage industry has been a wonderful fit for me. I have been in the business since 2008 and have worked in many different positions ranging from Administrative Operations to Post-Funding Operations. With the big-picture knowledge I gained from those positions, I settled into loan processing a few years ago and it has been so rewarding. I love to make the loan process as quick and streamlined as possible for our customers while maintaining compliance & efficiency. Happy customers are what I strive for.
