Director | Consumer Direct Lending iListen. iCare. iExecute. iClose.
With 18 years in the mortgage industry, I’ve built a career rooted in performance, innovation, and a commitment to excellence. As a result, my work has been recognized by *Scotsman’s Guide* and *Chicago Agent Magazine’s Who’s Who in Chicago Real Estate*—acknowledgments that reflect both strong results and consistent client dedication. These honors are a testament to my ability to drive success and deliver superior service.
Throughout my career, I’ve led from both the strategic and sales front. For example, while at LendingTree and Bankrate, I partnered with mortgage companies nationwide. I helped them build consumer-direct platforms, implement direct response media strategies, and scale their sales operations. These experiences not only strengthened my knowledge of mortgage marketing and client acquisition but also led to successful partnerships with major lenders, including Quicken Loans.
Moreover, I developed a deep understanding of the industry’s evolving needs. I learned to adapt quickly, think creatively, and implement innovative solutions that address client needs and market changes. This has shaped my ability to navigate challenges effectively while maintaining a focus on achieving long-term results.
Over the past decade, I’ve found real purpose in leading high-performing sales teams. As the Midwest Area Manager for one of the country’s largest lenders, I supported more than 70 loan officers. In this role, I led regular sales training sessions, strategic planning meetings, and introduced cutting-edge technology solutions. My leadership approach emphasizes empowerment, collaboration, and agility—ensuring that our team continuously improves, delivers on client expectations, and remains competitive in a dynamic market.
Now, I’m proud to bring that same energy, experience, and forward-thinking mindset to iLoan. In today’s market, challenges are inevitable. However, I see them as opportunities—to lead, to innovate, and to help loan officers thrive. Above all, I remain committed to delivering exceptional outcomes for every borrower we serve, helping them achieve their financial goals.
