From a young age, I was fascinated by homes. My parents cleaned new and preowned houses for extra income, and I loved tagging along—imagining floor plans, admiring remodels, and pretending to be a real estate agent. When I was ten, my dad built a 28-foot sailboat in our backyard, and we sold our California home to live aboard in Florida. It was an adventure—sometimes more like camping—but it taught me resilience and a deep appreciation for having a place to call home.

By age 14, I was working multiple jobs, and at 15, I bought my first car in cash. At 16, I moved into my own condo near my high school and soon after joined the U.S. Air Force, where I served proudly for 23 years and moved 13 times. I used my VA loan benefits in nearly every location and discovered a passion for helping others make smart housing decisions. Living overseas in places like Italy and Spain gave me unique insight into how climate, design, and lifestyle shape how we live.

After retiring from the Air Force, I pursued my lifelong dream of becoming a Realtor—a perfect blend of my personal and professional experiences. Real estate has never been just a job for me; it’s a true passion.

I continue to expand my knowledge through specialized training and have earned numerous certifications, including:
ABR, BR, CHMS, MRP, NHC, PSA, RCS-D, RENE, SRS, and SRES.

I earned my broker’s license after just five years as an agent, building on more than 20 years of hands-on real estate experience. My greatest joy is helping clients—whether buying, selling, or relocating—make confident and informed decisions.

Outside of real estate, my heart belongs to my daughter and our work in animal rescue. We often foster dogs, providing care and helping them find their forever homes—because everyone deserves a place to call home.
