GRI: Graduate REALTOR® Institute

A middle child of five, I was born in Sinton and grew up in Portland, TX. After high school, obtained a degree in Interior Design from Bauder College in Arlington. After school, went actually in to property management for several years. During that time, met my husband Garry and we were married in 1985. We have lived in Tampa, Phoenix, & Bakersfield before settling in Victoria in 1992. We got involved in the community while raising our boys. I spent nine years on staff at our church (Parkway) and the year our youngest was graduating from high school in 2006, I obtained my Real Estate license. My goal is to make a positive difference in your life. It's A Great Day!
