I am the ultimate AI geek, tech whisperer and data nerd. And when I am not doing THAT, I love traveling, discovering new cultures, new foods, and new experiences!

We are one month out from the industry's iconic #MBAAnnual25 and #TechAtMBAAnnual25 💥

Our industry has some great conferences and events THEN there is Mortgage Bankers Association's Annual Convention and Expo!

Our session, 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙪𝙢𝙖𝙣 𝙎𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝘼𝙄, is going to bring the house down. Seriously!!! This topic is exactly what we need right now and I'm so honored to share the stage with Brooke Anderson Tompkins  Dana Georgiou, CPLA, CFM  and Melissa Langdale for this important conversation!!

Personally, I have so many memorable experiences at past MBA Annuals that have remained with me over the years:

✅ Attending my very first Annual, circa 2015/16

✅ Multiple mPower- MBA Promoting Opportunities for Women to Extend their Reach events hosted by the indomitable Marcia Davies and meeting Meg Myers Morgan, PhD (2019), Mika Brzezinski (2021), and Mel Robbins (2022)

✅ Speaking on my first two panels in 2022; the first for M|Pact with Tai Pherribo Christensen and Ty 🏔 Cieloha, the second on Technology & Adoption with the #OG Sue Woodard, Cecelia Raine, and Jonas Moe

✅ Graduating from the #FutureLeaders program in 2022 (too many to tag but shout it to Alicia Goncalves, CMB® Dustin Owen, CMB®, AMP David Sober, MBA, CMB Bronwyn Morrissey CMB,AMP, CPC Ryan Black and so many more)

✅ Walking across the stage to receive my #CMB designation in 2023 from Mark A. Jones. Best. Cohort. Ever. Come on: prove me wrong 🙃 And again too many to tag but shout out to Mimi T. Paxson, CMB®, AMP, CML Kristina Stewart, CMB®, CML and our sponsor Rhiannon Bolen, CMB, AMP 🤩

Did I mention sitting in rooms and listening to thought-provoking conversations, attending insightful sessions, the once-in-a-lifetime intimate concert experiences, and so much more!

#DigMoEvent 
What a day! That's truly all I can say 🔥

Great sessions! Started with the stellar Joel Kan and only went up from there 🎉

I got to meet a few friends & colleagues #IRL for the first time (John Wines, Taranjeet (TJ) Kaur, Jack Cavanagh, Aleyna Groves, Bailey Reutzel) and reconnected with so many others (Rhiannon Bolen, CMB, AMP, Julian Hebron, Jake Vermillion, Philip Crescenzo Jr, Josh Friend, Joe Welu to name a few) ...

Congratulations to the demo winners Mortgage365, CI&T, and in first place, Insellerate  🎉 you guys are all building something incredible, including the other 9 teams!!

To put things in context, I attended the inaugural digital mortgage conference (2016, 2017?) and today it was a surreal, full circle moment for me: returning as a moderator & speaker for one of the AI sessions ...

Thank you National Mortgage News LIVE, Heidi Patalano, Julian Hebron, and the entire team for an amazing event!!

Pause and reflect


As I sit at my desk back at home this morning, reflecting on the first four days of the #EducationTour, I keep coming back to one thought: everyone is struggling with what AI is, what it can (and can’t/shouldn’t) do, and how we can best leverage this new technology responsibly, while keeping it human-centric.

BIG questions. Lofty goals.

Over the past four days, I listened to and chatted with various thought leaders and industry experts, each with their own perspectives and their own opinions.

Healthy conversations. Difficult conversations. Necessary conversations.

The other thing that struck me? Our appetite for knowledge, for clarity, and for guidance, when it comes to AI, is growing just as fast as the technology itself.

I don’t have all the answers; and IMO, no one else really does.

So I will leave you with my opening comments from our session 𝙍𝙚𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩’𝙨 𝙋𝙤𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚: 𝘼𝙄 & 𝙏𝙚𝙘𝙝 𝙏𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙨 𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙁𝙪𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙈𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙜𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝙇𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 at Digital Mortgage:

❝ 𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘮𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘈𝘐. 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘱 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘺𝘱𝘦, 𝘪𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘗𝘴:
* 𝙋𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚: 𝘵𝘩𝘦 "𝘸𝘩𝘰" – 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭
* 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨: 𝘵𝘩𝘦 "𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵" – 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘧𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘴 & 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦 & 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘷𝘦
* 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙩: 𝘵𝘩𝘦 "𝘩𝘰𝘸" – 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘐 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘸𝘦’𝘭𝘭 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦

Because at the end of the day, reimagining what’s possible with AI does not start with the technology. It starts with us!

Sundays with Suha #DreamDareDo 
Today only happens once! Make it amazing 💥

Make changes, not excuses
Be motivated, not manipulated
Refuse to play the victim
Rise above self-pity
Trust your inner voice
Believe in your strength
Walk with confidence

Today is here and now! It’s a fresh start, no matter what yesterday looked like or what tomorrow may bring.

The choices we make today, however small, will shape the future we step into.

I choose courage. I choose growth. I choose purpose.

What choice will you make?
