As the AVP of Commercial Lending at Shoreham Bank, I specialize in originating SBA 7(a) and USDA OneRD B&l loans for small businesses across the country. With nearly six years of experience in government-guaranteed commercial lending, l help small business owners secure financing for business acquisitions, partner buyouts, real estate purchases, working capital, and debt refinancing - all through the SBA 7(a) program.

I earned my MBA from Boston University, where I developed a strong foundation in financial strategy, risk management, and business operations. This education has been instrumental in shaping my approach to lending — allowing me to better understand the challenges entrepreneurs face and provide strategic, customized financing solutions that support long-term growth.

I'm passionate about guiding business owners and brokers through what can often be a complex process. From eligibility and structuring to packaging and closing, I focus on making the SBA lending experience as smooth and transparent as possible.

Whether you're just starting out or expanding your existing business, I'm here to help you find the right lending solution for your goals.
