About Me

Professionally

Choosing to be proactive about my life and my career over the last three years has led to a multitude of opportunities. In what has seemed to be a blink of the eye, I have been able to travel to new places, foreign and domestic, earn my license as a mortgage loan originator, and put my degrees in Economics and Psychology to use on the executive team at the nation's top non-delegated lender, E Mortgage Capital. 

Looking back, I have a lot of mentors that have helped me to become who I am today. While I have my father to thank for my morals and worldview, the man I’d most like to credit for the work ethic I now embody is Dino Ferraro. Following Dino's example while working in his restaurants gave me an understanding of both the macro and the minutiae and how important it is to respect both. 

Looking forward, I am excited to be a contributing member of the Barrett Financial team. I feel more motivated than ever to build my brand and reinforce my reputation as a kind-hearted, hard-working representative for good.

Personally

I've been on the hunt for the feeling of adventure ever since I realized I feel most energized and rejuvenated whenever I move to a new place, try a new activity, or eat new foods. When I need a thrill, I like to surf, snowboard, or ski. When I need to chill, I tend to go camping, rollerblade, or practice the piano.

If you ever catch me in a daydream, I'm probably thinking back on all the good times surfing deep in Mexico, skiing all around Lake Tahoe, or dancing through the night at festivals like Lightning in a Bottle. My most recent adventure involved riding at six new ski resorts during ten days of living the van life in Utah with three of my best friends.
