Liezel Once

Liezel Once is a journalist with Mortgage Professional America and Canadian Mortgage Professional, covering key issues and trends across the North American mortgage and financial services industry.

She brings to her reporting a solid foundation in broadcast journalism, having worked as a news writer and reporter across radio, television, and digital platforms. Her coverage has spanned high-stakes beats including national security, economic affairs, and disaster response — experience that sharpens her ability to distill complex topics for professional audiences.

Liezel has also contributed to business, technology, and future-of-work coverage for a global BPO marketplace, further deepening her expertise in industry-focused journalism. A versatile and dependable storyteller, she joined KM International as a freelance writer in 2024 and has since established herself as a trusted voice across Key Media's mortgage titles.

Outside the newsroom, Liezel feeds her curiosity through travel, and language learning — she is currently studying Korean, and has a particular passion for concert trips that take her to new destinations.
