I always knew I wanted to be independent and build something of my own. That desire led me to real estate at just 19 years old. In the beginning, I’ll admit I wasn’t fully focused—I was young and still figuring out my path. But as time went on and life changed, real estate started to change with me.
What began as a way to be my own boss turned into something much deeper. I fell in love with the independence real estate offers, but even more with the impact it allows me to have. Helping people negotiate and navigate one of the most important decisions of their lives—their home—is incredibly meaningful to me. A home isn’t just a transaction; it’s where lives happen.
Over time, that realization sparked a true passion for real estate and for helping others. I’ve been honored to guide friends, family, and clients through this journey, and I’ve been doing so for over 21 years now. What started as a career choice has become a lifelong commitment to serving others and changing lives, one home at a time.
While many people measure success by sales volume or transaction numbers, my most meaningful achievement goes far beyond that. The accomplishment I’m most proud of is starting my own brokerage, Luxe Living Realty. Taking that step was scary, and I had plenty of doubts along the way, but it was also one of the most rewarding decisions I’ve ever made.
What excites me most is not just where the company is today, but where it’s going. I’m incredibly optimistic about the future of Luxe Living Realty and proud of the foundation we’re building. Even more exciting is our collaboration with Sequoia as a collective brand. This partnership feels aligned in every way.
I truly believe in my heart that this is the path I was meant to take, and with this partnership, I know great things are ahead. That belief fuels my excitement for the future of the brokerage and the impact we’re going to make.
What excites me most about my work is being a key part of a family’s journey—whether that means buying their first home, upgrading, relocating, or selling. A home is often the most expensive and important decision someone will make in their lifetime, and being trusted to guide them through that process is something I don’t take lightly.
I love knowing that I play an integral role in making those moments happen. Beyond the transactions, it’s the people that truly make this work special. The relationships I build along the way often go far beyond real estate—many of my clients become friends and even feel like family, and that’s what makes this career so rewarding to me.
Let’s be honest—there are a lot of real estate agents out there, and I may not be everyone’s cup of tea. But for the clients I work with, the difference is clear.
I bring over two decades of experience to the table, and I’m very good at what I do. More importantly, I know how to make the process feel manageable. I’m personable, hands-on, and easy to work with. My clients often tell me that working with me feels both professional and relaxed. I break down complex information into simple, easy-to-understand steps, so you never feel overwhelmed or in the dark.
What truly sets me apart is the level of care I provide. I handle the stress, the details, and the negotiations behind the scenes, so my clients can focus on what matters most—knowing their best interests are always being protected. I’m dependable, responsive, and fully invested in every transaction, whether it’s a first-time buyer or a seasoned seller.
At the end of the day, my goal is simple: for you to feel confident, supported, and certain that you’re working with a true professional who genuinely has your back from start to finish.
I am a strong believer in community involvement and giving back through organizations where I can truly make a difference. Being active in my community is not just important to me—it’s a core part of who I am.
I am the founder of AREAA Napa–Solano and currently serve as its Treasurer. I am also the founder and President of the Fairfield–Suisun Education Foundation, where I work closely to support education and create opportunities for local students. In addition, I proudly serve on the Board of Directors for the Solano Housing Foundation, helping advocate for housing stability and access within our community.
Through these roles, I am able to contribute time, leadership, and resources to causes I deeply believe in, and I’m honored to be part of organizations that create lasting, positive impact.
When I look for a neighborhood, I think about both lifestyle and comfort. I have a big family and love hosting parties and gatherings, so having wide streets and plenty of parking is important. I also value a quiet, peaceful environment where neighbors aren’t too close together, giving everyone a bit more space and privacy.
To me, a great neighborhood is one that feels welcoming, comfortable, and allows room for both connection and breathing space.
Walnut Creek is my number one choice. I used to live there and absolutely loved the area. The shopping is great, the restaurants are amazing, and the natural surroundings give it such a welcoming neighborhood feel. It really fits my lifestyle and my vibe, and I would love to move back there one day.
When I’m not working, you can usually find me at the gym. My focus is on getting stronger and becoming the best version of myself. This year, my goal is growth—both physically and personally—because I know that in order to serve others at my highest level, I need to bring my best self every day.
I would tell a 5-year-old that the purpose of life is to have fun, try new things, and do your best at whatever you love. If you make a mistake, that’s okay—just try again and never give up!
Some of the happiest moments in my life have been seeing my children reach incredible milestones. Watching my kids graduate high school was amazing, and most recently, seeing my oldest daughter earn her BSN in nursing filled me with so much pride. Those accomplishments are theirs, but as a parent, being able to witness them and celebrate their hard work is truly one of life’s greatest joys.
One of my dream vacations is Japan. I’m drawn to its unique blend of rich culture, stunning natural beauty, and incredible food. I would love to explore the cities, experience the traditions, and immerse myself in everything Japan has to offer.
