About me
I’m proud to call South Lake Tahoe, CA home since 1998, and I’m deeply committed to our wonderful community. With over 20 years of experience in finance and real estate development, I genuinely enjoy helping people purchase homes in our area so they can continue to enjoy our unique lifestyle.
To me, the home loan process is more than just a transaction; it’s the foundation of a trusted relationship. You can rest assured that your loan is in capable hands, thanks to my attention to detail and ongoing communication throughout the entire process. In addition to our phone conversations, I’ll keep you informed with real-time status emails, ensuring you’re always in the loop as we reach key milestones in your transaction.
My passion for helping and serving others led me to a career in finance, where I strive to assist people in building their financial wealth. I am detail-oriented and committed to clear, effective communication, ensuring that my clients feel supported and well-informed throughout the loan process.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me enjoying the outdoors—rock climbing, skiing, or exploring the mountains with my husband Todd, our daughter Olive, and our dog Spot.
Thank you for considering me as your partner in achieving your dream of owning a home. Your trust means a lot, and I’m here to help you every step of the way.
