What is your favorite quote?
“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away.” – Maya Angelou
How did you get started in your industry?
I sort of stumbled into banking, but it turned out to be a great fit. I’m a very detail-oriented person with a knack for multitasking, and those qualities are perfect for mortgage lending.
What accomplishment are you most proud of?
Building the mortgage lending department from the ground up.
What advice would you give to a young woman
starting her career?
Don’t take everything so seriously. You will make mistakes. What matters is how gracefully you navigate those mistakes and use them as learning opportunities.
What do you love most about what you do?
It may sound cliché, but I love helping people. I find helping young families purchase their first homes to be particularly rewarding, and seeing their pride and joy in having a place to call their own and build their lives from is incredibly fulfilling.
