Background

About Larisa Barclay

I’ve always been drawn to roles that center around trust, care, and guiding others through complex challenges—whether that was working as a wilderness therapy field instructor, caring for patients as a nurse, or now as a licensed Mortgage Loan Originator. After earning my BSN with summa cum laude honors from Western Carolina University, I stepped back from full-time nursing to focus on raising our growing family. While I’ve maintained my active nursing license and stay connected to the healthcare world, I’ve also pursued new professional goals in mortgage lending. Working part-time as a loan originator allows me to support families through one of life’s biggest decisions—buying or refinancing a home—while keeping flexibility for our own family’s rhythms. I love helping clients feel confident and informed as they navigate the loan process, and I’m passionate about making homeownership more accessible and understandable for everyday families. Life is full, and I love the everyday adventures that come with raising a young family.
