I have been a Las Vegas resident since I was 6 months old. I have been a mortgage loan officer for nearly 20 years. I have seen so much change to Las Vegas and to the mortgage industry over the years! I have been married for 22 years and I have two beautiful daughters and one feisty puppy. I love Las Vegas and I especially love Summerlin! I also happen to love what I do for work so I consider myself blessed!
My husband, Basil is my biggest supporter. My oldest daughter is a sophomore at the University of Oregon and my youngest is a junior at Faith Lutheran. They are all awesome!
