Based in McMinnville, OR, I proudly serve Oregon, Washington, and California, offering personalized service in both English and Spanish.
As a Top 250 Latino Mortgage Loan Originator, I’m passionate about helping clients build wealth through real estate. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling with my daughter, Sofia, wine tasting, staying active, and spending time with my Australian Shepherd, Loui.
