For seventeen years I was a stay-at-home mom. I poured everything I had into my six kids — homeschooling them, raising them to be communicators, teaching them that hard work and character matter more than shortcuts. It was a full, beautiful life. And then it shifted.

My marriage ended. And suddenly I was a single mom with six kids, no income, no business experience, and a decision to make about what came next.

I could have shrunk. I didn't.

I had just lost 100 pounds through sheer discipline and grit — a journey that taught me more about resilience than anything else in my life ever had. So I became a certified personal trainer, built a client base of 25+ women, created an app, launched a YouTube channel, and started helping other moms do what I had done. I was proud of it. And I hit a ceiling — capped on time, capped on income, with bigger dreams still ahead of me.

That's when my mentor James — a 26-year mortgage industry veteran — saw something in me and brought me into home loans. I won't sugarcoat it. Learning an entirely new industry as a single mom of six was one of the hardest things I've ever done.

I did it anyway.

Within my first year I closed $2 million in a single month — the fastest anyone at my company had ever done it. I became the only loan officer in the entire company to receive company leads, because of how I connect with people, how I build trust, and how I follow through. I have the highest conversion rate in the company. And I was awarded the "Drive" award — "the inner motivation pushing you to achieve your goals no matter the obstacles."

All of that within six months of my divorce being finalized.

I'm not telling you this to impress you. I'm telling you this because I want you to know exactly who you're working with — and because I know there are women reading this right now who are in the middle of their own version of that story. 

TO START OVER.

I know what it feels like to

And I want you to know it's possible.

The single mom

The woman who has been told no

The female realtor

The dreamer who isn't ready yet

Specifically you — if you're a woman who is done waiting for permission to build the life she wants.

I work with everyone who needs a mortgage. But my heart? It beats loudest for:

                             who is figuring out how to create stability and wealth for her kids on her own terms. Homeownership is the greatest financial investment you will ever make — and you deserve someone in your corner who actually understands what it took to get you to that application.

                                                             — by a lender, by a bank, by her own inner voice. I don't do no. I do plans. I will find the path. And if the first road ends, I kick it into 4-wheel drive and find another one.

                                  who is tired of lending partners who don't communicate, don't follow through, and make her look bad in front of her clients. I am the partner who picks up the phone, reaches out to your clients the same day you refer them, and never lets a deal die on my end. We are building something here — together. A community of women in this industry who support each other, refer each other, and grow each other's businesses. That is the vision. And it starts with you trusting me with your clients.

                                                          — who has the goal but not the roadmap. I have been that person. Come talk to me now. We'll build the plan together so that when the moment comes, you are ready and I am already your person.

I BUILT THIS FOR YOU.

My why

I chose the mortgage industry because there is no ceiling. No box. No one telling me to stop. That is also exactly what I give every single person I work with — options. Always a plan. Always a way forward.

My Jeep says it better than I can. If the road ends, I kick it into 4-wheel drive and keep going. I have been the person who researched everything, tried everything, and kept hitting dead ends. I know what that hopelessness feels like. I also know what it feels like to push through anyway — and come out the other side of something you weren't sure you could survive.

I've done it with my weight. I've done it through divorce. I've done it as a single mom building a career from scratch. And I will do it with you — for your home, for your financial future, for whatever goal you are standing in front of right now wondering if it's actually possible.
It is. Let's go get it.

I NEVER TELL A CLIENT NO.

I TELL THEM THE PLAN.

THE WHOLE KRISTINA.

 — and I mean that in the most beautiful, mountain-air, pine-tree, white-Jeep-on-a-dirt-road kind of way. I bodybuilld because the gym taught me the same things life did: consistency beats talent, you don't quit because it's hard, and the only way out is through.

who are some of my greatest teachers. They each have completely different personalities, and learning how to communicate with each of them has made me one of the best listeners and communicators in the room — any room. They run the house now while I work. They cook, they clean, they show up. And then we play together. It's the family I always dreamed of building, and it's exactly why I believe so deeply in what homeownership can do for a family.

your people gather. Where memories are made. Where stability is built and wealth is created for the next generation. That is not just a mortgage to me. That is someone's entire future.
And I do not take that lightly.

I live in Utah

I have 6 kids

Home is where
