The Lending Hand

Originally born in Winnipeg, Canada, I immigrated with my parents to Fort Wayne, Indiana at a young age. And that's when I fell in love with mortgages!...just kidding. At 8 years old the only thing running through my mind was soccer. Specifically, becoming the next Mia Hamm.

​

But that didn't happen, and that's OK. Instead, I did what every washed-up athlete decides to do when we hang up the boots: I got a dog, joined a rec league, and asked myself, "So, what now?" 

​

I answered that question 7 years later. I left familiarity once again to "start new". In 7 years my mindset shifted from being scared/sad that my reality was "over", to feeling excited that life pushed me to start new again. 

​

And yes, my best buddy/sweetest dog ever, Toews (Named after hockey player Jonathan Toews-I am aware my 'Canadian' is showing.), has been along for the ride. 

​

I learned that as we grow, our ambitions adapt to new visions.​ You see, there is no 'one size fits all' when it comes to planning. There is just life; how we decide to respond to it's adversity will alter our outcome. 

​

My blog and videos will focus on financial literacy and some important aspects of home ownership. Together, we can create a positive journey no matter what stage in life you are starting. All you need is a lending hand and maybe a cool guide dog.

​

Thank you for being here.
