As a Licensed Loan Partner on The Bruce Team, I originate new loans and develop quality relationships with clients and realtor partners alike, working together to maintain and grow each other's business with integrity and quality. I began my career as a personal banker, and later transitioned into real estate finance. I started first as an escrow assistant on a very busy desk, followed by a year as a loan processor, and then found my home as a loan officer. After five years of originating mortgages, I joined the Bruce Team in early 2016- a successful and supportive group of professionals all working toward the same goal.  

I ensure that our borrowers receive a thorough explanation of what to expect from the loan process. They can trust us to walk with them through it every step of the way. This extra level of service and the assurance that our team's decades of combined experience, along with Guild's industry-recognized high quality standards, will result in a loan that suits them well. 

In addition to my financial background, I also have 2 years' experience as a mobile notary.  I am also a member of the Greater Portland chapter of the Women's Council of Realtors as well as the National Notary Association.

My husband and I are currently raising three children, two spoiled cats and one slightly neurotic rescue dog in Beaverton, Oregon.  I was born and raised here and LOVE the Pacific Northwest for its many opportunities to enjoy the outdoors in all its diversity.  When I'm not cheering my kids on from the sidelines of their sports games or band concerts, I enjoy gardening, reading, singing, hiking and volunteering locally with my church, schools, and with Boy Scouts and American Heritage Girls.
