Originally from Washington D.C., I moved to Ohio when I entered college and received my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Psychology. I have been working in the banking and financial industry, counseling clients on financial responsibility. Working closely with clients and knowing that I am helping them achieve a goal is my favorite part.

In my free time I love to read, shop and spend time with my family, friends and sorority sisters. Jamming to Justin Timberlake, watching the “Golden Girls” and “Murder She Wrote” is my idea of a perfect day.

Helping a first time home buyer achieve their dream of home ownership, improving someone’s financial health, to all of the amazing people I have the pleasure of meeting along the way, these are just a few of the things I love about being a part of the mortgage industry. I could not imagine doing anything else!

I take pride in turning what some might consider a stressful time into an exciting and knowledge filled experience. I do this by making sure that I’m aware of my client’s goals, I educate them on all of their options and I make sure that they understand and are comfortable with every aspect throughout this process. My clients are never disappointed with the strong communication and transparency that I offer them.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, shopping, traveling, and experiencing new things. My favorite trip I’ve been on so far is to Costa Rica; it’s beautiful! I also have a fur baby named Frankie.

I started in the banking industry in 1985 as a teller and worked my way up to Chief Lending Officer for a local community financial institution. Most recently, I started a full service mortgage banking operation for another local community bank in Geauga County.

I received my Bachelors from Cleveland State University in Business Administration and my masters from Baldwin-Wallace College with a concentration in Systems Management and Leadership. I am a graduate of the Ohio Banker’s League Blythe School of Banking and completed course work at the American Bankers Association’s Commercial School of Banking at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.

I live in Olmsted Falls and enjoy playing basketball, cards, and relaxing at the beach.

Helping clients with home ownership is something I pride myself on, whether it be your first home purchase, your vacation home, or a new home to fit your life changes.

I have been in the banking industry for 10 years with 8 of those years being a loan originator. Over my years of experience I have learned that every lending situation is unique, and I love being able to tailor your loan to meet your individual needs and goals. I understand that purchasing or refinancing your home is a stressful time in your life, I do my best to educate you to make the process as seamless as possible.

I reside in Port Clinton with my family. I love traveling with my family and allowing my daughter to experience new places the world has to offer.

Having been born in Sandusky and raised in Castalia, I am small town proud!

As a native of this area, I understand the unique financial opportunities and challenges that are present. My number one goal is helping you navigate what can be a confusing, or possibly intimidating process through honest and open communication. I believe that collaborating and helping one another will lead to both personal and communal success. Whether your vision is building a new home, purchasing an established home, or simply gaining financial confidence, my success is measured with yours. I look forward to positively impacting this community one success story at a time!

My free time is dedicated to my family and helping those around me. I enjoy travel, spending time at local sporting activities, and eating Toft’s Ice Cream. I look forward to hearing your story, learning your goals, and meeting your financial needs through personal, attentive service!

Since joining First Federal Savings of Lorain in 1979, I have held positions of teller, head teller, management trainee and is currently manager of the Main Office on Oberlin Avenue. I am a member of Lorain County Chamber of Commerce, North Coast Building Industry Association, Lorain County Association of Realtors and Main Street Amherst.

I have been a lifelong resident of Vermilion, Ohio where I currently reside with my husband and 2 children.

I have been in the banking and mortgage field since 2003, which has given me the opportunity to work with a diverse client base. What I have gained from this experience is the ability to truly understand my client's needs. I believe that understanding your needs is the most important step in helping you achieve your financial goals. A key objective of being part of the First Federal Savings of Lorain family is to give the highest level of customer service along with providing the ideal mortgage program that fits each borrower's individual needs and goals.
