I’ve spent the last several years immersed in the mortgage world — first behind the scenes in recruiting, helping loan officers build their careers, and now as a loan officer myself here at NEXA Mortgage, where I get to be the one walking families through one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives.
Before mortgages, I built and ran my own chocolate business from the ground up, eventually finding the right buyer to take it further. That experience taught me something I bring to every file I touch: a loan isn’t just numbers on a page — it’s a plan for someone’s life, and it deserves someone who treats it that way.
Based in Orange County, I work with clients on everything from first-time purchases to complex refinances. When I’m not on the phone with a lender or running numbers on a rate lock, you’ll probably find me experimenting with a new recipe in the kitchen or out on a walk with my two dogs.
I’d love to help you find your way home.
