Bio

I love working in a team environment and help others strive at the same time. I have been in this industry since like 2006 or 2007 before the last recession and major regulatory changes. I started in the mortgage industry as a part-time Jr LO while I was in the military as a Sonar Technician on Submarines. Then I was discharged and moved from Virginia Beach to Los Angeles started working at Rockwell Collins in Irvine, CA as an Electromechanical Assembler Technician until I had a pipeline where I can work full time MLO as a commission only employee. When the economy crashed in late 2000s I began doing mortgage modifications but eventually relocated to Florida and I went into Admissions and Financial Aid. In 2011, I started my mortgage journey again at Freedom Mortgage (FMC) prepping colored folders until I eventually moved my way up to Compliance Reviewer, Funder and Junior Underwriting throughout my tenure at FMC. I love nabbing here and there of mortgages and numbers because I get bored in a mundane position and have enjoyed learning different aspects of Retail and Wholesale and I also experienced the dynamics as an MLO, Processor, Jr. UW and Closer. I enjoy working here due to the amazing team and staff we have in-house, and the ability to help people become homeowners!
