The Future is Female - Empowering Women as Real Estate Investors

My mission is to empower everyone to use real estate to build wealth, because truly anyone can do it!  I'm a licensed loan originator in Nevada and California.  Born and raised in Reno, I graduated from the University of Nevada in 2009.  . After managing a small business for 8 years, I decided to follow in my older brothers’ footsteps into the mortgage lending field.  Connect with me online and real life for straightforward guidance on how to approach financing - whether it be a purchase, refinance or  entire  real estate empire.

The Elm Estate

This is our 7th Future is Female! To date, together we have raised $20,000 for The Women and Children’s Center of the Sierra. And, we are not done yet! We also aren’t anywhere near finished raising awareness about passive income streams, empowering women as investors and building networks of bosses who want to lift as they climb. Join us March 7th for another half day workshop. We’ll begin with our signature panel to get everyone fired up about the possibilities of real estate. This time we have a special theme – realtors who invest personally. We have some of the best in the country flying in to share why they don’t just sell real estate, they use it to accomplish their own financial goals. Following the one hour panel, we’ll break into mini-workshops to share the HOW TO. You’ll leave with the knowledge on how to get started, how to grow and how to protect yourself when it comes to real estate investing – plus some bonus topics for the ladies looking to build their tribe. All proceeds, from sponsorships to ticket sales, go to The Women and Children’s Center of the Sierra.
