Born and raised in Orange County, New York, I always dreamed of living in Texas. I would stay with my Aunt and Uncle every summer in San Antonio, and I always knew I would live in Texas one day. I received my bachelor’s in Kinesiology from Marywood University, in Scranton, Pennsylvania. After graduation, I moved across the country to Arizona, where I would meet my husband, who just happened to be from Texas! I have lived in and around Fort Worth for over ten years now and am happy to call it home. I currently live in North Fort Worth with my husband, Justin, and daughter, Phoebe Dot.

With 10+ years in customer service, you could say that I love working with people. Through my own experience, I know that buying and selling a home can be a stressful time in a person’s life, but I’m here to guide you through it and make it as painless as possible.

In my free time I love to run, and read. Traveling with my husband and daughter is probably my favorite thing to do, though!
