My name is Jelisse, yet most people call me Jey. I’m a dedicated Mortgage Lender with Home 1st Lending, and my passion is helping people turn financial goals into real-life milestones. With a career in banking that began in 2018, I’ve built my experience on trust, education, and meaningful relationships, not transactions.

I started my journey as a bilingual Relationship Banker, proudly serving my community by helping individuals improve their credit, create goal-driven financial plans, and work toward long-term financial wellness. Clear communication, personalized guidance, and genuine connection were always at the heart of my work.

Most recently, I served as a Business Banking Manager, partnering with local business owners to provide lending solutions that supported cash flow, growth, and long-term success. Whether working with families or entrepreneurs, my approach has always been the same: listen first, educate often, and serve with integrity.

Helping others succeed isn’t just my career. It’s my calling. I truly believe that education is key, and I love empowering clients with the resources and knowledge they need to make confident financial decisions. I will never treat my clients like a number; I treat them like family. When you love what you do, work doesn’t feel like work and I genuinely love what I do.

Outside of lending, I’m a wife and proud mom of three, a homeschooler, and a memory-maker at heart. I enjoy planning events, traveling, giving back to my community, and spending quality time with family and friends.

I’d love the opportunity to connect with you and be a trusted resource on your homeownership journey.
