If I had to choose one word to describe me, it’d be “tenacious.” Years ago, I set off from the Midwest to the Pacific Northwest with a packed Mazda and a dream. Getting established took some grit, but I pulled it off.

Sometimes, living your best “zoom zoom” commercial is what it’s all about.

That same tenacity translates into my work. In 2020, I began the most challenging phase of my finance career when I became an underwriter amidst – well, 2020 things – and historic business volume. The office became a casualty of the era and, together with working remotely for the first time and with a new team, it put my adaptability to the test.

It was daunting… but I rose to the challenge and even exceeded it with performance awards my first year in production.

🔥 It’s safe to say I’m a self-starter.

My demonstrated excellence in compliance and credit risk analysis includes annual awards in quality (100%) and customer loyalty (net promoter score >70%) – the latter being achieved in part by identifying risk issues upfront during initial review, before they could detonate later.

Project management, problem solving, research, multitasking, communication, and relationship building have all been vital skills in my success.
