What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration, client education, and innovative lending solutions.

I am a high-performing senior lending officer with over 16 years of proven success in mortgage origination, loan processing, and consultative sales. My specialization in purchase transactions and Non-QM lending has allowed me to build strong partnerships with builders and deliver exceptional experiences to borrowers and referral partners. I am recognized for my efficiency and accuracy, consistently delivering clean files and smooth closings.

Throughout my career, I have independently managed high-volume pipelines, providing end-to-end loan support and acting as the primary point of contact for clients. My ability to collaborate effectively with in-house teams and maintain thorough knowledge of industry guidelines has been pivotal in achieving top performance in grant programs and new construction pipelines. I am bilingual in English and Korean, which enhances my ability to connect with a diverse range of clients.
