Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    There is no money helping the LMI community. Their loans take a long time to close.

  • How I responded:

    I did research and found an institution who truly stands for what they believe and I found Capital One. At Capital One we are compensated for helping the under served and we have a unique group of people that manage our department and we all have the same objectives.
