With over $75,000,000 in sold volume during my 9 years at 8z, I’ve found true fulfillment not only in helping my clients find their perfect homes, but also in building strong connections within the 8z family. Many know me as the “momma bear” because of my compassion, encouragement, and desire to see others succeed. I love mentoring fellow agents, helping them use our incredible systems, work through challenges, and grow into the best version of themselves as Realtors. For me, it’s all about people: clients, colleagues, and our communities coming together to create success stories worth celebrating.
