I was born and raised in Dallas-Fort Worth and don't plan on going anywhere any time soon! My goal is to help turn your home dreams into a reality.
As a lifelong resident of Dallas-Fort Worth, I know the ins and outs of the metroplex. I graduated from Richland High school and then continued my education at the University of North Texas in Denton. I started my real estate career in 2015 and have been serving my community ever since. This means going above and beyond to exceed all your expectations. Every opportunity in real estate is unique,
whether you are ready to buy your first home, an investment property, need to sell or lease; or need a professional to guide you through the process. Your needs will be met with the enthusiasm, honesty, integrity and knowledge you want, and deserve to have. My passion and drive to make the buying and selling process as stress-free as possible for every client is what sets me apart from the rest. I'm not afraid of challenges, and enjoy problem solving. From trustworthy advice, to clear explanations that enable you to make great decisions, I'm by your side from start to finish. My professional affiliations include the National Association of REALTORS, Texas Association of REALTORS, and MetroTex Association of REALTORS. When I'm not assisting real estate clients, I am advocating for animal welfare and volunteer with Animal Investigation and Response. I enjoy yoga, cooking, art, catching up on the latest movies, and spending time with my family, friends, and fur babies.
