I became a loan originator because I believe homeownership should be an empowering and transparent experience not a confusing one. With over 5 years of experience navigating both the California and Texas real estate markets, I specialize in helping clients understand every step of the mortgage process so they can make confident, informed financial decisions.
At Bayshore Mortgage Funding, I’m proud to work for a company that values integrity, education, and long-term relationships over short-term transactions. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, refinancing for better terms, or expanding your investment portfolio, my goal is to tailor financing that fits your life not just your loan application.
I take pride in breaking down complex lending terms into clear, actionable guidance so you can move forward with clarity and peace of mind. My approach is simple: listen first, educate second, and deliver results that align with your goals.
