I’ve been in Oregon since 2006 and have been drawn to the Pacific Northwest since I was in my youth. I love all things about the mountains. Most often, you’ll find me rock climbing at my home crag of Smith Rock. However, I’ve been known to travel the world to experience different climbing destinations. I also love to trail run, ski and hike. I’m a true lover of spicy foods and have the nickname: Chili Pepper. My favorite rest day activity is trying a new recipe in the kitchen and wowing my family and friends with delicious foods. I’ll (typically) let them add in their own spice.  

As a mortgage lender since 2007, one of my biggest compliments surrounding my work is my level of communication. In the beginning, I’ll explain how the process works and help you understand all the programs that you can choose from. If you’ve got a tricky scenario, then I’ll figure it out. I love a good brain twister. When I submit your loan, I’ll keep you (and your realtor) up to date throughout the process. I’ll set timely expectations along the way so that we won’t miss important timelines. I enjoy offering the possibility of closing early because the loan process has been so efficient. I love to hear from my first-time homebuyers, “You made a seemingly difficult process easy.”  I’m excited to earn your trust and help you find your dream home! I’ve got you covered whether that be a new primary residence, a second home, or an investment property.
