What I enjoy most about being a Mortgage Loan Officer is the pleasure that comes from helping my borrowers, whether it is helping them refinance or purchase their dream home or answering their loan questions. I also love sitting at the closing table with happy home buyers, and knowing I helped make their dreams come true.
I have been with McLean Mortgage since January 2010, which is very uncommon in the mortgage industry. It just shows that McLean Mortgage isn't just a company; it's a family.
I have lived in the Hampton roads area for most of my life. Born and raised in Norfolk, and currently living in Virginia Beach. I am a military wife and mom of three. When I'm not helping clients, I enjoy spending time with family. We love traveling, going to the beach, and spending time outdoors. Recently my free time is driving my kids around to their activities and sporting events.
My goal is helping each client achieve their personal financial goals by educating them throughout the loan process. Let's start exploring your mortgage options together.
