After a long time successful career in the corporate world where I supervised teams of sales people and was responsible for achieving challenging goals I was ready to put those sales and customer service skills to work in my own business. Having always enjoyed real estate and sales I felt I could work with people to help them reach their housing goals. I've always been hard working and energetic and love to learn all that i can.

Upon retirement i was ready for a new challenge and hit the ground running upon obtaining my real estate license. The rest has been a dream come true with my being blessed with great clients who I work hard to please on every aspect. I feel like I learn on every transaction and I do everything possible to help sell my listings as well as find the right home for my buyers. I've watched Sugar Land and Fort Bend County grow since 1986 and am proud to be a part of this community. I've sold throughout the county and work hard to learn as much as possible about each neighborhood where I specialize. I'm really excited about having broken into the luxury home market and that I have been a Top Producer every year since I started. I take great pride in helping my clients achieve their dreams and we try to have a good time doing it.
