#1 Loan Officer at NEXA Mortgage & Top 1% Loan Officer Nationwide

As the #1 Loan Officer at NEXA Mortgage and ranked as Top 1% of Loan Officers nationwide, my journey has been one of relentless growth. Starting my mortgage career in Consumer Direct in 2016, I closed over $140 million alone in 2020 with no help, driving me to innovate for scalability and sustainability. In 2021, I transitioned to Retail Lending in hopes of building a team and expanding. However, the game-changing decision came in 2022 when I made the jump to the Broker world to join NEXA Mortgage. NEXA has given me the creative freedom to build my business how I wanted and provided me a platform to offer my clients competitive rates and options.
