       Whether you are purchasing your first home or refinancing your current house to fund your dreams, I research the best loan program for you based on your specific situation and goals.  I am an up-front loan officer who takes the mystery out of the home financing process.  I don't believe in hidden fees or confusing legal mumbo-jumbo.  Since my work is referral-based I want to make sure I do what's best for YOU!  And as a former attorney, I can help you understand all the fine print!

I particularly like working with families since I have 2 kids of my own.  I know how hard it can be for families to purchase a home in Seattle these days and am dedicated to helping families get what they need!   

I also work with momsrising.org to get issues like health care on the state and federal political agendas.  For fun I help organize Baby Loves Disco - a dance party at Club Heaven for the whole family.  I am also a member of the Northwest Enterprising Moms, a networking group for Mamapreneurs.

I have been: an organic farmer; a corporate transactional and criminal defense attorney;  and most recently an ad sales rep for ParentMap magazine here in Seattle.  Some say I have a checkered past, but I just think it's been interesting! 

I moved here from the Bay Area 3 years ago and have a two year old son & four year old daughter.
