As a first-generation homeowner, I'm passionate about helping others avoid the mistakes I made along the way. As a bilingual Community Development Mortgage Lender at Southern Bancorp, I have the resources to turn that passion into action. I believe this allowed me to be recognized as one of Arkansas’ Money and Politics’ Women in Banking 2024. When I'm not helping families achieve their homeownership dreams or assisting with upsizing and downsizing, I dedicate my time to organizations like Make-A-Wish, Women & Children First, or training for my next marathon.
