Laura’s journey into lending began with a personal experience that changed everything. When she applied for her very first mortgage, she was treated unfairly because she didn’t make much money and didn’t have many financial resources. Instead of being educated or guided, she was made to feel “less than.”

Rather than walking away discouraged, Laura made a decision: She would become the kind of advisor she never had — the one who protects, educates, and empowers.

That mission still drives her today.

Laura is widely recognized throughout Georgia for both her production and her impact, including:

• Top Female Loan Officer in Georgia
