“I am passionate about helping homeowners untangle the complexities of property title when facing foreclosure, or victim to deed theft. I specialize in detecting errors or oversight in foreclosure processes preventing families from losing their homes.”
“I believe homeownership should be available to all people regardless of their background. My mission is to help people obtain the American Dream of owning an affordable home and retaining that home through life’s difficult hurdles.”
“Through helping women and their families rebuild their lives after incarcerations, I have learned that people should not be defined by their worse moments in life, as true character is shown by all in those moments that follow.”
