Originally from Louisiana, I joined the Army after high school and had the honor of being stationed in various stateside locations and overseas in Panama and the Middle East. During my time in service, I received several awards, including commendations for Operation Just Cause, Desert Storm, and Desert Shield.
Upon leaving the military, I began working at my first job in banking. This job afforded me the opportunity to attend Kansas State University while learning the industry from the ground up, as well as, develop my deep-routed passion for assisting clients. Later, I was able to earn my master’s degree at the University of Phoenix while working full time as a paralegal. Since 1992, I have worked exclusively in the lending industry which has encompassed many roles including teller, customer service, processor, underwriter, paralegal, commercial title underwriter, and management.
In June 2009, I joined Wells Fargo as a negotiator and within a year I was promoted to management. By August 2010 I had the honor transferring to our VA investor portfolio group to manage a team that assists Veterans with short sale and deed in lieu requests, helping them avoid potential foreclosure.
Community service has always been important to me, including my time in the military. My most valued commendation came from the Internal Revenue Service for my servicer as a Volunteer Tax Assistant. Since joining Wells Fargo, I have continued this tradition of outreach as an active member of our national Veteran’s Network as Secretary; working actively with our local chapter in Charlotte, volunteering for events with Charlotte Bridge Home, and with our local Diversity Council. I have also had the distinct honor of attending several community outreach Home Preservation Workshops and Hope Now events for struggling homeowners in various cities and military installations.
