Meet Brittani Moreno from 24/7 Mobile Notary
Q: We'd love to kick things off by getting to know you a bit better. Could you share a little about yourself and the story behind your journey so far?
A: After finishing one year in a clinical psychology doctorate program, I realized the career I was pursuing was not going to be the right fit for me. Entirely uncertain of what to do thereafter, I stumbled across a Youtube video about a notary loan signing agent which piqued my interest. After months of contemplation, I decided to pursue giving this completely different vocational path a try and took the steps and training required. I became a notary at the start of the pandemic in 2020 so it was a crazy but perfect time as the demand for notaries was so high. I was fortunate to start my business when I did and am grateful for the decision I made.
Q: We're curious about your experience growing up, living or working in Santa Ana. What does Santa Ana mean to you, and how has it shaped who you are today?
A: I moved around a lot growing up so I've lived in various cities throughout OC. However, the longest city I lived in growing up was Santa Ana so it's significant to me for that reason.
Q: What are your hopes and dreams for Santa Ana's future? What kind of changes would you love to see in the community?
A: In Santa Ana's future, I'm hoping for a vibe where everyone feels included and heard. That means more community involvement and better education, job opportunities, and tackling things like housing and homelessness. Plus, let's keep celebrating our diverse culture and make sure we're taking care of our planet, all while staying safe and connected as a community.
Q: Every path has its ups and downs. Looking back, what have been some challenges you've faced, and what lessons have you picked up along the way?
A: Reflecting on past experiences, I've encountered various challenges that have shaped my journey. Through navigating setbacks and mental health struggles, I've learned the importance of adapting and self-awareness. Embracing mindfulness and meditation has taught me the value of living in the present moment and taking each day as it comes. These lessons have helped me cultivate a sense of inner peace and perspective amidst life's uncertainties.
Q: We're all ears when it comes to learning about your work and what lights you up. Is there anything special you're currently working on that you're excited about? We'd love to hear what's keeping you busy these days!
A: Lately, I've been focused on expanding my notary business to reach new clientele and broaden my services. In addition to loan signings, I've ventured into estate planning signings and general notary requests, which has been incredibly rewarding. Beyond that, I've been exploring my creative side by diving into content creation on TikTok. Collaborating with diverse brands in the food, health, beauty, and lifestyle sectors, I'm excited to share my passion and promote their products through engaging content. It's a thrilling journey, and I'm eager to see where it takes me next!

Q: Before we wrap up, we want to hand the mic over to you. Is there a message you're eager to get out there? Maybe something you wish people would ask you more often?
A: I'm excited to share the message of empowerment and possibility. Through my journey with my business in Santa Ana, I've discovered the transformative power of chasing dreams and overcoming obstacles. I want to encourage others to believe in their potential and pursue their passions fearlessly. Something I wish people would ask more often is about the community impact of small businesses.
