Bio I was born and raised in the Washington DC area. I attended Walt Whitman High School in Bethesda, and studied business at Mary Mount College in Arlington, Virginia. After college, I moved to Virginia Beach where I met and married my husband. We have been happily married for 25 years and have three beautiful girls and two crazy dogs. I began my mortgage career in Virginia Beach primarily working with Veterans and first time homebuyers. We moved back to the Washington Metro area in 1994 where I took a position with Ryan Homes in their mortgage division.
