About Me

I started my residential lending career back in 1993 as a broker associate, later joining a national retail lender before coming full circle to start Pryority Lending Group in 2017. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of helping hundreds of families find financial peace of mind through homeownership — and now, through the power of reverse mortgages.

With a deep focus on serving older adults, I earned my Certified Reverse Mortgage Professional (CRMP) designation and began a new chapter with Mutual of Omaha Reverse Mortgage. I love helping seniors, their families, and trusted advisors explore how a reverse mortgage can create stability, open new possibilities, and enhance a well-planned retirement.

I regularly collaborate with financial advisors, estate planning attorneys, and accountants to identify when a reverse mortgage makes sense — and to show how it can be a powerful part of a broader financial strategy. My goal is always the same: to educate, empower, and help clients make confident, well-informed decisions.

Community involvement is also a big part of who I am. I’ve proudly served on the Torrance Memorial Medical Center’s Professional Advisory Council for the past seven years, am currently chair the City of Torrance, Social Services Commission, and sit on the Board of Directors for the Torrance Area Chamber of Commerce.

Whether I’m helping a client achieve financial freedom in retirement or working to strengthen the Torrance community, I bring the same passion, integrity, and care to everything I do.
