What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values innovation and client relationships, offering opportunities for growth.

I am a dedicated mortgage loan officer with a proven track record of exceeding sales targets and delivering exceptional service to borrowers and realtors. Currently, I work at Better, where I manage a personal pipeline of loans and guide pre-approved borrowers through the homebuying process. My ability to build strong relationships with realtors and collaborate cross-functionally has enhanced customer satisfaction and improved operational processes.

Previously, I have held positions at Flyhomes and Mynd, where I spearheaded successful sales campaigns and developed go-to-market strategies that resulted in significant company growth. My experience includes managing multi-million dollar mortgage pipelines and implementing innovative solutions to boost productivity and efficiency. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise to drive positive outcomes for clients and organizations alike.
