About Michelle

After 24 years as a nurse, I brought my passion for helping people to home financing. I thrive off learning something new, whether working as an armed messenger on armored trucks while in nursing school, traveling the world working on cruise ships or as a loan officer. It’s allowed me to become an expert on innovative and staple mortgage programs – including conventional, FHA, VA, and USDA loans – and help people like you get into the home of their dreams.

Whether this is your first or next home, I’m here to simplify home financing. I’ll take the time to walk you through each step of the mortgage process, answer your questions, and keep you up to date on your loan’s status every step of the way. I’m proud to call the beautiful state of Colorado home and can’t wait to help you make it yours, too.

Off the clock, I’m a cat lover who shares my home with two lilac mink ragdolls and a chocolate Siamese. I enjoy spending time cooking and baking.

Equally enjoyable are the other personal and financial advantages of being a homeowner: security and stability, equity and wealth building, and more! I’m here to help you get the most from your home financing — whether you’re buying your first home, moving up or downsizing to match your lifestyle, or refinancing your current mortgage.
