As a mortgage lender, I have been helping clients realize the dream of homeownership and equity utilization for over 25 years, working my way through learning all steps of the mortgage process. I have an extensive knowledge of loan programs and determining what type of loan best suits each individual borrower's needs. I specialize in home purchase loans, refinancing and first-time homebuyer programs and am committed to providing tailored home financing solutions. I joined Guild Mortgage in February 2020 and have enjoyed being part of a dynamic group of successful professionals. I am here to make sure the home financing process is smooth and guide borrowers through every step, from completing the loan application to the victorious close date!

As a native to Oregon, I grew up in the beautiful Willamette Valley, worked in Portland and Los Angeles before returning to my hometown of Creswell to raise my family. Now an empty nester, married for 36 years, I recently downsized and moved to charming Cottage Grove, known as the "Covered Bridge Capital of the West". I enjoy walking, exploring, and volunteering in my community, spending time with family, playing with my dogs, and discovering new local spots and activities. Being part of such a vibrant and supportive community has been incredibly fulfilling, and I am excited to continue making a positive impact through my work and personal endeavors.
