What I'm looking for

I seek remote underwriting roles focused on home-equity and portfolio loans where I can apply custom non-agency underwriting, risk analysis, and cross-functional collaboration to improve loan quality and compliance.

I am a detail-oriented mortgage underwriter with over 3.5 years underwriting portfolio home equity installment loans and HELOCs, specializing in non-agency and custom underwriting. I served as the pilot underwriter for a Home Equity Installment program and routinely used Ellie Mae Encompass to analyze income, credit, appraisals, title, trusts, and flood determinations to manage risk and ensure compliance.

I thrive working independently in fast-paced remote environments and bring additional experience in secondary finance, auto loans, quality assurance, and notary services, aiming to deliver accurate, compliant underwriting that supports portfolio performance and borrower outcomes.
