With 24 years as a mortgage lender, I specialize in the HUD 184 Native American Loan, helping Native Americans achieve homeownership. I am a mother of three adult children, two of whom are real estate agents in Maricopa and Pinal counties. We enjoy working together as a family team. Originally from the Navajo reservation, LeChee Chapter, I have lived in Phoenix and Glendale for 21 years and now own land in New Mexico, where I plan to build a self-sustaining home. I have also appeared in films, TV shows, and modeled with Native American casts. Currently, I enjoy traveling, working remotely, and meeting new people.
