Let’s explore the journey to a seamless, modern mortgage experience! When Opportunity Knocks Like many individuals, Corie’s journey into the mortgage industry was unplanned, but she is genuinely grateful for the path it led her on. Armed with a Mass Media—Communication degree from La Salle University, she initially ventured into the world of field news reporting after college. However, it soon became apparent that this career trajectory didn’t align with her long-term goals. An opportunity presented itself when Corie was offered a marketing role in her hometown. Embracing the chance, she discovered a passion for marketing and, driven by curiosity, explored various positions within the team. Leveraging her background as a multimedia journalist, Corie naturally gravitated towards social media marketing, progressively assuming additional responsibilities beyond her initial role. Upon parting ways with her job, Corie embarked on a new challenge—Social Media—at the Association of Independent Mortgage Experts (AIME), a non-profit organization founded by Anthony Casa, who now serves as the President & CEO of UMortgage. The rest, as they say, is history. Authenticity and Influence UMortgage, a rising star in the mortgage industry, has achieved remarkable recognition within just three years of its establishment.
