Carolyn brings decades of financial expertise to the mortgage industry, drawing on her background as a fractional CFO and full-charge accountant. After years of serving business clients through her own company, she now channels that same diligence, accuracy, and professionalism into helping individuals achieve successful homeownership. Her goal is to make the mortgage process clear, confident, and stress-free for every client.
A graduate of Grand Canyon University, Carolyn holds both a bachelor's degree in finance and economics and an MBA. Her deep understanding of financial strategy allows her to guide clients through all aspects of obtaining a mortgage - including first-time homeownership, government-backed loans, refinancing options, and more. Her personal and professional experience is extensive: as the spouse of a veteran, she has firsthand knowledge of VA loan benefits; she has owned multiple properties, managed refinances, held a real estate license, and worked as a Mortgage Loan Originator during the 2008 mortgage crisis. This unique combination of experience allows Carolyn to relate to clients on a practical, real-world level and provide the high-touch service they expect.
Carolyn has been married to her college sweetheart for 33 years and is the proud parent of two adult children. She has lived in Arizona for 35 years, having moved from northern Illinois to pursue her education - where she met her husband, a Tempe native raised near the Galaxy Lending Group office. She can browse Amazon without adding anything to her cart.
Family, faith, freedom, and finance are the values that guide Carolyn's approach to mortgage advising. Clients appreciate her integrity, intentionality, and commitment to helping them make informed, confident financial decisions on their path to homeownership.
