Leah will work with you to find your best mortgage loan option. From preapproval to closing, she'll help you at every step.

"I started with Blaze in 2022 and have over 11 years of experience as a mortgage loan officer. I have over 32 years in the retail banking industry, working in all aspects of the industry including deposit services, consumer lending, financial planning, and personal banking.

The most rewarding part of my job are the connections I make with my members; I love to hear their personal stories.  My goal is to educate my members on improving their financial health and to help them achieve their dreams of home ownership.

When not working, I enjoy being active outdoors year-round with my husband. We are actively involved in the trail running community and the craft beer community. I also enjoy reading, music, attending the theatre, and making artisanal crafts."

Leah serves these communities:

Blaine, Coon Rapids, and Minneapolis

She also offers construction loans.
