Besides putting my clients first, I love sharing my really great sense of humor where I typically laugh at my own jokes first!
2. Are you married? Do you have children? How many? Boy / Girl / both? If no children, pets?

4. How did you get into the industry?
By mistake...I was in the customer service/retail space once I finished school and was looking for a change. I applied for an opportunity in the mortgage business and the rest is all history. My first call was the first client I began to work with and the first transaction that I ever completed.
