Hello! I'm Christia

I have been focused on my children at home for several years. During this time, I have obtained a second degree in chemistry, remodeled and sold two homes, and now I have learned to code. I have several years experience working in banking institutions and I also have a finance degree. I am committed to learning new skills and combining them with my previous experience in management, mortgage banking, and commercial lending.
