The Heart Behind Homeownership

About Me

For more than two decades, I have had the privilege of helping individuals and families navigate the home financing process with confidence.

Growing up with very humble means, I understand firsthand what it feels like to experience the loss of a home. When it came time for me to purchase my own home, I wasn't offered options or guidance. That experience stayed with me and ultimately inspired me to answer a call from a local bank many years ago.

Since then, I have dedicated my career to helping others achieve more than they thought possible. Whether you're purchasing your first home, searching for that long-awaited second home, building a custom home, or simply looking for direction, I'm here to help you understand your options and create a strategy that works for you.

But lending is only part of my story.

I am often asked questions beyond mortgages, which is why I created this space—to give you a glimpse into my world. My children live and work in West Michigan, serving our community through local nonprofit organizations. Outside of lending, one of my greatest passions is dog rescue.

At any given time, I may have four to six dogs in my home. We are experiencing an epidemic of homeless dogs, and shelters across the country are overwhelmed. If there is one message I will always share, it's this:

Adopt. Don't shop.

Whether you're looking for a dog cookie recipe, interested in fostering, considering adoption, or simply want information before making a commitment, I'm always happy to help and share what I've learned along the way.

Above all, I am grateful to God for His grace in my life and honored to share any knowledge, guidance, or encouragement that may help in yours.

If you have a question—about mortgages, dogs, homeownership, or life in general—just ask.

I'm always a call, click, or conversation away.

Guidance Built Around Clarity & Confidence

Buying a home is more than numbers — it’s one of the biggest life decisions a person can make.

I believe mortgage guidance should feel personal, honest, and supportive. With over 20 years of experience, she helps buyers navigate the process with clarity, communication, and confidence.

Whether you’re purchasing your first home, refinancing, or planning your next investment, the goal is always the same: helping you feel informed and empowered every step of the way.
