Who I Am
I’m not just a loan officer — I’m a solution builder.
With roots in real estate investing, loan structuring, and financial education, I’ve helped hundreds of families and entrepreneurs find the right financing to achieve their dreams. I believe in clarity, speed, and above all, trust.
Bilingual and deeply connected to Minority communities, I understand the unique challenges immigrants and underserved borrowers face — and I’ve built Vela Mortgage to be a platform that guides and empowers.
