Barbara began her career in the field of mortgage banking with a national mortgage banking firm in Atlanta, Georgia.  She has been involved in many aspects of the mortgage business.  Beginning as a processor, she was soon managing the processing department and training loan originators.  In 1980, she moved to Florida as an Account Executive with PMI Mortgage Insurance Company.  After later joining Fannie Mae, she was chosen to be their first satellite representative.  After 15 years with Fannie Mae, Barbara retired from the firm in 1997. She spent two years fishing tournaments with her retired husband in the Florida Keys, but Barbara soon missed the mortgage business and accepted a position with TIB Bank in Islamorada, Florida.

Barbara is an affiliate member of the Florida Keys Board of Realtors, is an Ambassador to the Islamorada Chamber of Commerce; and is a sitting member of the Monroe County Land Authority Advisory Committee serving at the pleasure of the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners.  Barbara was the founding President of the South Florida Association of Professional Mortgage Women; a past advisory committee member to the Florida MBA; a past member of the Blue Ribbon Committee for Affordable Housing in Monroe County; a past Director and Officer of the Girl Scout Council of Tropical South Florida serving Dade and Monroe Counties; a past Education Chair of the Greater Miami MBA; a past member of the Fannie Mae South Florida Partnership Office Advisory Committee; and a past member of “WE WILL REBUILD” advisory committee following Hurricane Andrew. Barbara’s passions are her husband and family, fishing, running local foot races, and the mortgage business.

Barbara’s work experience gives her a broad understanding of not only originating mortgages but  of the full scope of  mortgage banking.  

Whether you are interested in a mortgage loan or just have questions about the mortgage business, Barbara is your go to person.
