I am a proud Houstonian and have lived in the Houston area for the past 25+ years. I am familiar with many surrounding communities and neighborhoods including those in Houston, as well as in the Spring/Woodlands North Houston general area.

After graduating with a B.B.A. in Marketing from Texas A&M University in College Station, I worked several positions where I planned, coordinated, and implemented community classes and programs for major medical institutions before migrating to a career in real estate. These positions helped refine my people, business, and organization skills which have only served to benefit the clients I work with today.
