About Me

As a native Houstonian I grew up attending Cy-Fair schools and the University of Houston where I received my BBA in Marketing and a Minor in Sales.

I’ve worked with tenants in the commercial real estate industry for several years and my primary focus was delivering the best customer service that I was capable of.  After years of corporate work, my husband helped me decide that my true passion for helping people would be better suited in the residential sector where my motivation to help others, friendly nature and outgoing personality would be embraced.

I enjoy selling real estate in Houston as much as I enjoy living here, and I would be honored to be your Realtor.
