I am a driven person with a wealth of experience, having enjoyed 16 wonderful years of marriage to my husband Mark who works in the construction industry. My journey through life has been a diverse and fulfilling one, shaped by my strong passion for service and a deep commitment to my family. Before my real estate career, I worked as an ER nurse, where I dedicated myself to helping those in need during critical moments. However, as my family expanded, I made the choice to stay home and nurture our three incredible daughters: Mckenzi, Juliana, and Olivia. Watching them grow and thrive has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. In recent years, I've also taken on the role of a proud grandmother to a lively two-year-old grandson, a source of boundless joy and love. 


Despite the demands of my real estate profession, I remain committed to giving back to the community. I find purpose in volunteering my time at The Women's Pregnancy Center, supporting women during one of the most important moments in their lives. Being married to a contractor has afforded me a unique perspective on the construction industry. I've gained valuable insights into building, designing, and creative problem-solving. This hands-on experience has not only enriched my personal life but also enhanced my ability to assist clients in the real estate market. One of my greatest passions lies in the art of selection and style transformation. Whether it's helping clients find their dream homes or making design choices, I relish the opportunity to create spaces that reflect individual tastes and preferences. With a background in construction and a love for design, I'm uniquely equipped to guide clients through the exciting journey of homeownership while sharing my expertise in building, designing, and problem-solving.
