I’m a San Diego–based Realtor with a passion for helping educators and first-time homebuyers turn their dream of homeownership into reality. Buying your first home can feel intimidating—from competitive markets to confusing paperwork—but my goal is to make the process feel clear, empowering, and even exciting. I love guiding first-time buyers' step by step, answering every question, and advocating fiercely so you feel confident from offer to keys-in-hand.
Before stepping into real estate, I built my career as a professional Counselor living and working in the Bay Area, Central Valley, and San Diego. Those experiences alone deeply influence how I work with my clients. I’m empathetic, a calm presence during stressful moments, and someone who truly understands that buying a home is more than a transaction—it’s an emotional and life-changing decision. My counseling background allows me to support clients with patience, mindfulness, and clear communication throughout the journey.
Outside of real estate, I’m a busy mom to multiple kids, balancing school drop-offs and pick-ups, sports practices, games, and enjoying precious family time. I understand how important it is to find a home that fits your daily rhythm—whether that’s proximity to schools, parks, beaches, or a sense of community where your family can truly thrive.
Helping individuals and families plant roots isn’t just my job—it’s my passion. If you’re a first-time buyer wondering if homeownership is possible for you, I’d love to walk alongside you, answer your questions, and help you find a place you’re proud to call home.
