About
My Story
A lifelong Yamhill County local with a heart for serving others.
Yamhill County has been home for more than 40 years. My husband and I were both raised here, and we feel incredibly blessed to have raised our own family in the same community that shaped us. These deep roots give me a genuine love for the area and a true understanding of what makes it such a special place to call home.
Real estate is more than just buying and selling houses. It is about helping people step into their next chapter with confidence. With strong knowledge of the local market, a commitment to clear communication, and a heart for serving others, I strive to make every transaction smooth and rewarding.
When you work with me, you are not just hiring a Realtor. You are gaining a dedicated advocate and trusted partner who truly cares about your goals and your future.

Past Client
Committed to my Clients. Committed to my Community.
With every transaction I close, I make a donation to a local nonprofit organization. It is my way of giving back to the community that has given my family and me so much over the years. Helping my clients achieve their real estate goals while supporting organizations that make Yamhill County stronger is something I am incredibly proud to be a part of.
BUNCO for a Cause
One of my favorite ways to bring people together is through BUNCO for a Cause. I host these charity Bunco nights throughout the year, and each event raises money for a different local cause close to my heart. It is such a joy to see friends, past clients, and neighbors filling the room, rolling dice, sharing laughs, and making a real difference for people and organizations in our community. Whether you are a Bunco pro or have never played before, you are welcome at the table. Come for the fun, stay for the cause.
