I believe in the FirstHome IQ mission because I am passionate about empowering people and teaching them about money and real estate to help them make smart decisions that will enrich their lives forever.
"My 'Why' is rooted in empowerment through education. As a retired educator, I spent my career breaking down complex concepts to help students build a foundation for their future success. Today, as a Certified Mortgage Advisor, my mission remains exactly the same—only my classroom has changed. I don't just close loans; I teach the language of real estate finance. I believe that every homebuyer deserves to fully understand their options, feel confident in their decisions, and use homeownership as a tool to build long-term wealth.
After 30 years in lending, my passion comes from connecting with people and helping them understand the process as we go. I love teaching but I really love seeing the light bulb turn on for someone. If they understand what is happening then results and joy are not far behind.
As a former Operations Manager turned Loan Officer, teaching has become my passion. The lack of understanding about the homebuying process is frustrating and I want to be on the front lines to get the next generations of homeowners educated.
After years in this industry I have watched confusion cost people real money. When buyers understand the process, they make decisions they are proud of. Education is how I give that back
