About Alisha

A decade of opening doors — literally.

For over 10 years, I've helped families navigate the most important financial decision of their lives. I built my career on the loans others overlook — government programs that make homeownership reachable, and Non-QM products that get self-employed borrowers, investors, and complex profiles to the closing table.

My promise is simple: clear answers, honest math, and a phone that picks up.
