I was working at Domtar in 2020 when COVID hit and turned my world upside down. I used this an a opportunity to evaluate what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. I came to the conclusion, that helping people navigate getting a mortgage loan and the reward of being on their life changing journey is where I wanted to be. I chose to join the team at MIG because they were the ones that provided t
hat help for my family and is was one of the best decision I could have made.
