My dad always had great advice and these two pieces of advice have stuck with me over the years. “Do what you love, love what you do” &  “Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life!”       

Finding the one thing you love is not always easy. I have found, I love many things, but becoming a REALTOR® has been extremely rewarding, and is truly something I love! In 2008, I became a top producer during one of the most challenging housing markets in the Sacramento Valley, but I gained valuable experience in short sales, REO’s & Foreclosures! I also teamed up with my husband, who is a General Contractor, and went into the “house flipping” business. I can say, we had a great time finding the “diamond in the rough” (and back then, there were MANY rough diamonds) and making it beautiful again! The experience I gained while working with him flipping homes was priceless.

I currently live in the Fair Oaks area near the American River. I am a country girl at heart, having grown up in the Wilton/Sloughhouse area of Sacramento.  I attended a small private school out in Wilton and after college became a preschool teacher and eventually the principal of a large child care facility in the Elk Grove area. I have 3 wonderful girls and am married to my fabulous husband, Michael. I love spending time together with my family ~ going for walks along the many trails of the American River Parkway and Sailor Bar; traveling to Hawaii and Oregon where we have extended family.  I also walk, train, and raise funds throughout the year with the Komen-Hands Up For Hooters Team. Every November, I and my teammates join the big “Pink Bubble” at the Komen 3-Day in San Diego and walk 60 miles over 3 days. We raise funds for research, studies, education, and support for those who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Go to www.handsupforhooters.com for more information.

My goals in real estate are to help my family, friends, and clients fulfill their dream of homeownership and work by referrals so that I can provide my clients with the first-class service they deserve.
