I am a dedicated professional at AFN who believes that success is built on a foundation of movement, whether that’s growing a business or hitting a mountain trail. I bring an energetic and hands-on approach to everything I do, balancing a technical career in finance with a deep-seated passion for the outdoors and family. My goal is always to bridge the gap between complex financial needs and real-world growth through clear communication and genuine connection.

My core expertise lies in navigating the complexities of business funding to support daily operations and long-term expansion. I am deeply involved in the lifecycle of every deal, specializing in partner program management, deal review, and strategic pricing. I pride myself on my ability to manage the fine details of getting files funded while never losing sight of the big picture: building long-term, trust-based relationships with my partners and business owners.
Throughout my career, I have cultivated a versatile professional background that allows me to see deals from multiple perspectives. Prior to my current role at AFN, I worked extensively in finance on the mortgage side, which sharpened my understanding of lending structures and client needs. Today, I use that experience to stay “hands-on” throughout the entire funding process, ensuring that every partner I work with feels supported from the initial review to the final handshake.
I am a proud alumna of James Madison University, where I earned my Bachelor of Business Administration. My academic background is uniquely diverse; in addition to my business training, I hold a Bachelor’s in Health Science and a Physical Therapy degree. This combination of clinical discipline and business strategy has provided me with a well-rounded perspective and a versatile approach to problem-solving in the financial world.
When I’m not in the office, you’ll likely find me outdoors—I’ve been a runner since I was a kid, though I still have a firm rule against treadmills. I’m an active traveler who prefers hiking trails and oceanside runs over sitting in cafes. At home, I love “throwing down” in the kitchen by reinventing comfort food into Keto-friendly favorites, or spending time landscaping to transform outdoor spaces. Above all, I’m a family-oriented person and a thoughtful gift-giver who treasures lake days, boat rides, and making lasting memories with the people I love.
