I have been a resident of Elk Grove, CA since March 2001 and a REALTOR® since 2002. I enjoy helping people buy or sell homes not only in Elk Grove, but anywhere in the greater Northern California region. My varied previous work experiences, including office management for a public relations firm, advertising and marketing for a publishing firm, and positions in the hospitality industry, all combine to make me a well rounded REALTOR®.

A little bit of background about me. I grew up in Antioch, CA in Contra Costa County. I attended UC Davis where I earned a Bachelor of Science. I graduated with Highest Honors and completed my degree in 3 years. After graduating, I worked as a real estate assistant where I learned the ins and outs of the real estate industry. Before making real estate a career, I decided I needed to see the world. I ran an on-board fitness program for a major cruise line for 2 years and sailed to Alaska, the Caribbean, and the Mediterranean among other destinations. Upon my return from that adventure, I tested out the publishing and public relations industries before deciding that real estate is where my passion lies.

I joined Lyon Real Estate in 2002.  I was named Rising Star of the Year for Lyon Real Estate in 2003.

On a personal note, I have been married since 2001. I have a son, Jack, who was born in September 2005 and a daughter, Kate, who was born in January 2010 . In my free time, I enjoy exercising, reading and keeping all of my digital photos under control!

I have developed the skills you need to make your real estate dreams a reality-marketing your property, negotiating the contract, and taking care of the details to make it happen. Even if you are moving out of the area or out-of-state, I can help you find your next home. Please give me a call; you’ll be glad you did.
