I have been in Financial Industry 25 + years and recently transitioned into Mortgage Industry helping people obtain Personal mortgages.

1 year

I grew up North of Boston and live in West Peabody with my daughter 2 pups and parents in my in-law. There is never a dull moment at home!

I spent the last 25 Years in banking in various roles. I began as a small business specialist and then move into Branch Manager for 6+ Years. I realized my passion was helping customers and moved back into a customer facing role. I moved to the personal side working with high net worth clients assisting them with there day to day banking needs, investments needs and lending needs. I loved going to work everyday, my clients were amazing and the internal team I worked with was dedicated, hardworking and always put the clients needs first. I shifted to the commercial side and spend the last 10 years working with small - business clients/ larger commercial clients. I loved the passion business owners and CFO'S have about their company. I learned so much from so many and will be forever grateful for all the clients who placed trust in me, and all of the people who worked with me. At the end 2020 the commercial lending team I was a part of a large revamp and the majority of us were laid off. I knew I was ready to make a change and the mortgage industry excited me. I originally wanted to work in a bank as MLO until I sat down with Brian at NewFed mortgage. Brian is one of the most hardworking. kind, honest people I know. In addition to that he is engaged to one of my best friends who I grew up with and after I spoke with many companies I met him last and instantly knew I wanted to be part of his team. The next day I started at NewFed Mortgage.

My clients would tell you I always answer my phone, I hardworking, trusting, funny<br /> dependable, and smart.

I have so many so many great people around me and feel pretty lucky with all the good advice I have a got along the way.. My mom told me to stop and smell the roses and I think we all have to remind ourselves to do that! Thanks Mom !!

The Secret

I am a firm believer in positive affirmations, exercising , eating healthy, reading books, listening to loud music in the car and singing along. Be Grateful, no matter how busy you are, make time for your family and friends, be present, enjoy the moment, be kind to yourself and others, answer your phone, give complements to people travel, give more then you get, be silly and love as many things in life you can.

Ask for the business, educate your clients, and ALWAYS put your clients needs first. My mantra.

Wear sunblock, Don't worry abut small things, listen to your gut and Always bet on yourself.

I have a 8 year old daughter who is the light of my life. My family and friends are a huge part of my life. I love hiking, the beach, vacationing and staying active.

I never sneeze just one sneeze!!
