As a Board Member of CapitalW Collective, I have the privilege to “pay it forward” through the free programs we’re offering. Being involved in CapitalW Collective provides an outlet to give back to others what my mentors – both men and women – have given to me over my career and fill a development gap in the mortgage industry.
