AIMLOAN.COM
Loan Assistant (Full Time)
(2009 - 2017) 

AimLoan is an Internet Direct Lender, committed to using technology to deliver savings, transparency, and convenience to mortgage customers. During my tenure at AimLoan, I assisted the Lock Desk with processing borrower applications using EllieMae® Encompass and customer service with Microsoft Dynamics (CRM) software. I was included in business meetings with the CEO and VP of production, serving as a "internet associate", assisting with research and development of the company's web reputation and search engine optimization.

PLANET APPAREL
Pre-Production Artist (Full Time)
(2002 - 2005)

Planet Apparel, formerly Unchained Graphix, is a silkscreen and embroidery shop, based in San Diego, California. As a pre-press graphic designer at Planet Apparel, my attention to detail was crucial in ensuring that designs were properly formatted, color-separated, and optimized for the screen printing process. This involved an understanding of design principles and technical requirements. I not only ensured digital proofs but also the effective translation onto the print medium across multiple projects simultaneously. Customer interactions via phone, email, and in­-person meetings were frequent and fast-paced, so efficient customer service was imperative. The company underwent a significant change in operations and was sold and/or acquired in 2005.
