Having joined the Guild Mortgage family in 2020 and now returning after life’s changes, I am thrilled to assist clients with their home financing needs. Navigating the process of buying or refinancing a home can be overwhelming, but I am here to make it understandable and comfortable for you. Effective communication is essential, and I will guide you through every step, from our initial interaction to the closing table and beyond.

Beyond work, my husband and I, both Montanans, take pride in raising our two daughters. We’ve overcome challenges, including my husband’s victory over sarcoma cancer. Technology allows me to manage multiple tasks efficiently, and we enjoy spending summers at Noxon Reservoir, hosting barbecues with friends and tackling home improvement projects.

It would be my privilege to assist you in securing financing for your first home, a vacation property, your forever home, or an investment property. Additionally, if you’re considering a refinance, whether for debt consolidation or a home improvement project, I have experience and access to various programs, including Conventional, USDA, FHA, Manufactured homes, Jumbo, and HeLoans. Let’s work together to make your homeownership goals a reality!
