With two decades of experience in the mortgage industry, Deana understands that every borrower arrives with different questions, priorities, and financial goals. She takes time to explain the mortgage process, address concerns, and help customers understand their available options before making an important decision. For Deana, mortgage lending is about more than processing an application. It is an opportunity to help individuals and families work toward one of life’s most meaningful milestones.

Deana is known for providing reliable communication and extraordinary customer service throughout the lending process. Whether she is helping a first-time homebuyer prepare for a purchase or assisting an existing homeowner with refinancing, she adapts her approach to the individual needs of each customer.

As a Mortgage Lender with Prairie State Bank & Trust, Deana combines extensive industry knowledge with the personal service and local decision-making of a community bank. Her goal is to help make the financing process feel organized and straightforward while ensuring customers feel informed from their first conversation through closing.

When she is not helping customers, Deana enjoys spending time with her five grandchildren. Family is an important part of her life, and she values the opportunities to attend school events, play games, and create lasting memories with them. 

Deana brings the same patience, commitment, and personal attention to her customer relationships, helping each borrower feel supported throughout the mortgage journey.
