My undergraduate degree is from the University of Maryland where I was the President of the Student Council.  From there I went to Temple University and earned my graduate degree in Education.  After a short stint in PR I went into recruiting in DC and within a year began my own business.  The mortgage business drew me in and I have enjoyed helping families since.  I was able to raise my three children, all now out of college, while working in the mortgage industry.  It is amazing to me that 23 years later I am still in one of the most interesting, chaotic and unpredictable businesses I could ever imagine.  I have watched my clients grow their families and now are helping their children buy homes. I have been a competitive, national level soccer coach and in 2017 I was named the State of Maryland Female Competitive Coach of the Year.  I have graduated dozens of women from college soccer programs having become successful, empowered women.
