Welcome to my website

My name is Kim and I love my position as a senior loan officer in the North Houston office.  I have been in the mortgage industry for the past 31 years.  I started off processing loans and have been originating loans for over 26 years now.  My favorite part of my job is helping people on a personal level to achieve their dream home.  HomeTrust truly treats each loan with the upmost respect and importance.  Our funding process is seamless and top in the industry.  I have been privileged to be a Top Producer multiple years.

I’ve always called Texas home.  I grew up in the Rio Grande Valley and moved up to attend college at Sam Houston University.  I earned a BBA with a focus in business management and was a member of Chi Omega Sorority.  I have been married for over 21 years with two beautiful daughters and two very sweet cats.  Outside of the office, I enjoy exercising, yoga, visiting the beach and a having a nice glass of wine.
