Our team
Better people make better lending
We lend billions of dollars to commercial real estate projects every year. But it’s not just capital that distinguishes us. It’s the empowered nature of our workforce. Our advisors are experienced experts whose sole focus is to deliver financing
strategies that enable you to achieve greater success.
Our Better Lending culture – three decades in the making – is built on the skill that comes from pure mortgage lending. Because we start from a position of knowledge about you, your project, and your market, we can design solutions that
are fit for your purpose. And because accountability is in our nature, we meet our commitments.
Better by design, better by nature, better for you in every corner of the country.

Organized. Resourceful. Collaborative.
“I add value by communicating effectively and focusing on solutions.”
Sydney joined First National in 2021, starting as a Funding Specialist before moving into origination as an Associate Analyst. In her funding role, Sydney learned the importance of service, both internally and externally, to ensure deals closed seamlessly. Highly organized, Sydney prides herself on being able to manage a complex workload with optimum efficiency. When confronted with a problem to solve, she consults as many resources as possible – precedents from other deals, the wisdom of her team and her own experience – to find the best solution. For Sydney, collaboration is key to achieving team success.
When she’s not adding value for First National borrowers, Sydney recharges in nature, gets lost in a great novel, bakes and cheers on her favourite sports teams.
