What I'm looking for

I'm looking for professional growth while pursuing my passions, building on my leadership experience in English education and my current underwriting work.

I'm currently an Underwriter II at United Wholesale Mortgage, where I review and verify underwriting data for accuracy and compliance with company guidelines and industry regulations.

Before moving into underwriting, I taught English language arts across middle and high school classrooms in Detroit and Hamtramck. At University Prep and Detroit 90/90 Uprep Schools, I led 9th-grade teams and defined ELA content strategy, goals, and standards while managing content teams.

I'm Detroit-raised and motivated by professional growth and my passion for education. I bring classroom management, curriculum development, leadership, conflict resolution, and strong relationships with students, families, staff, and community stakeholders.
