I'm an award-winning entrepreneur and Co-Founder and CEO of New American Funding. A first-generation Hispanic, I leverage more than 40 years of experience in the mortgage industry to lead the company’s sales and operations efforts.
Along with my husband Rick, I have helped to transform the company into one of the largest independent mortgage lenders in the United States today with a servicing portfolio of over 245,000 loans for $64.7 billion.Today, I oversee nearly 3,500 employees, 54% of whom are women and 41% who are minorities. I'm proud that we have become the largest lender for the Latino community in the United States.
As a first-generation Hispanic, I was born into a hardworking family of female role models. My mother, a proud Mexican immigrant, tirelessly cleaned real estate offices until she eventually owned her own cleaning business. I am also inspired by my grandmother, a single mother who struggled but persevered, to support her own family in Tijuana, Mexico.
