“The noblest art is that of making others happy” P.T. Barnum

​

As a mortgage advisor, this quote resonated with me because with all the skills in the world it means nothing unless your customer walks out the door with a smile on their face and that’s what I strive towards every moment I’m at work.

​

I’m CeMap and also have a Certificate of Training practice in Learning and Development. With 6 years of Training experience coupled together 7 years of branch-based Banking experience and brokerage.

​

My core skill is Customer Service and that makes it easy for people to deal with me.

I love working for myself across a range of mortgage providers because it allows me to be a skilled advisor over a choice of lenders which I believe empowers my clients.
