Fatima Saine
Accounting Coordinator
I came to NWHP because I believe in our mission and its positive impact for people of color. Working here, I feel directly involved in helping people achieve the American dream of owning a home. I’ve previously had experience in banking, credit unions, and nonprofits. I’m from Gambia in West Africa and immigrated to the US two decades ago, and I’ve stayed active in the local Gambian community. I enjoy spending time with my kids and taking them to their basketball games, and watching movies together as a family at home.
LaShelle Smith
Lending Advisor
Helping people navigate the homeownership process has been my passion since 2009 as a mortgage modification specialist. At that time many Americans were in mortgages they could no longer afford due to the changing tides of our economy. Since then my mortgage experience has grown tremendously from working as a loan processor, closing disclosure specialist, and loan coordinator. I became a licensed loan originator in 2019 and remain passionate about the journey for sustainable communities through ownership. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, world history, metaphysics, genealogy research, and travel.
