About Jenny
Jenny has worked in the financial services and home lending industry for over 14 years. She takes a consultative and no-pressure approach to helping her clients. Jenny takes pride in educating her clients on their different home financing options. She customizes each solution to help them achieve their goals. Jenny provides the personalized attention her clients deserve and enjoys building long-term relationships with them and their families. Understanding that home loans aren't just "one size fits all" and ensuring her clients have the right home lending solutions to achieve their personal goals is part of what sets Jenny apart from other lenders. Jenny was born and raised in Michigan and is a graduate of Western Michigan University. She would visit her aunt year after year during Memorial Day weekend to participate in the Bolder Boulder 10k. There her love for Colorado grew, and she decided to relocate in 2013. When presented with a job opportunity to relocate to Boulder, she jumped at the chance! When Jenny isn't helping families achieve their dream of homeownership, she enjoys exploring Colorado, golfing, hiking, skiing, scuba diving (when she can get to the water!) and spending time at her second home in Santa Fe, NM.
