Meet Laura
I have been working in the mortgage industry since 2006. I got my start at a local non-profit housing agency working with prospective homebuyers and current homeowners. I then spent almost a decade in local government as a foreclosure counselor, offering support and services to those facing financial hardships. And I am happy to be able to continue my career in housing as a lender at Bell Bank Mortgage.
I speak Spanish and enjoy working with people from all different communities. I value the relationships I've formed with my clients over the years and enjoy getting to know each borrower's story. I pay close attention to detail throughout and work hard to make this the smoothest process possible for you – from when you apply all the way until your loan closes.

More About Me
I grew up in a diverse suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, where I attended a magnet elementary school and started learning Spanish in first grade. I've continued with Spanish since then, majoring in it in college and living in Costa Rica.
Now, I'm a busy mom trying to find the balance between work and family. Most weekends, you can find me at a yoga class, in the pool or at a local farmers market.
I love to travel, and our family tries to escape the Minnesota winters by taking a trip somewhere warm and sunny.
