About Me

I grew up in this business and have been licensed since 2011. After an 11-year career as a teacher, I transitioned into real estate full time, bringing my education, leadership, and heart for service into every client relationship. As a Central Coast real estate expert, I help families build generational wealth through smart strategy, strong negotiation, and heart-led guidance…turning first-time buyers into long-term investors with integrity and results.

I proudly serve as the President-Elect of the Women’s Council of REALTORS®, continuing my mission of empowering and elevating women in real estate leadership.

Giving back is core to who I am: a portion of every transaction goes directly to youth programs in our community, totaling over $20,000 donated in 2025 alone. In addition to financial contributions, I volunteer my time across multiple local organizations, including the Boys & Girls Club Mentorship Program, Local Mentorship Programs through High Schools, Readers of America, Food Pantry, Community Kitchen, People’s Kitchen, and Bridge House.

My work as a REALTOR® isn’t defined by commission checks, but by the community I help build.

And for those who ask, the “Dr.” in my logo is earned.. I hold a Doctorate in Educational Leadership (Ed.D.), and I wear it proudly.
