Hi everyone! 👋❤️ I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself beyond just real estate.

Professionalism is incredibly important to me, but I’ve always believed that the relationships we build with people matter just as much as the work we do. Real estate is no different. Behind every home, every sale, and every new beginning is a person or family with their own story.

So, I thought I’d share a little of mine!

I grew up in Lakeview, a small town in Southern Oregon. I met my husband when we were both just 17, and together we made the decision to move to Eugene, where we’ve built our life and family.

Today, we’re raising two amazing children who mean absolutely everything to us. My husband and I both experienced difficult childhoods, and early on, we made a promise to each other: We would become the people we needed when we were kids.

That promise has shaped so much of who I am, the way I raise my children, and the way I approach life. I’ve always believed that where you come from doesn’t have to determine where you’re going.

My husband is a phenomenal cook and has spent over 10 years working in kitchens. My own career has taken me in several directions, from banking and office administration to events, and now my current role as an Executive Assistant for an amazing company in Coburg.

Every experience has taught me something valuable, but one thing has remained consistent: I genuinely love helping people.

A few months ago, I decided to take that passion in a new direction and earned my real estate license!

I’ve always been someone who loves staying busy, learning new things, and challenging myself. Real estate gave me the opportunity to do all of that while helping people through some of the biggest decisions of their lives.

And I couldn’t be more grateful for how this journey has started.

My very first client was someone I had only recently met. She trusted me with the responsibility of selling her home, and that meant more to me than she probably realizes.

I’m incredibly proud to share that her home went under contract within just 48 hours, and we’re on track to close within 30 days of accepting the offer! 🏡

Now, was it an easy transaction? Absolutely not!

There were unexpected challenges, long days, and plenty of things that needed to be worked through. But I advocated for my sellers every step of the way, stayed on top of every detail, and worked hard to make the process as smooth as possible for them.

That experience reminded me exactly why I wanted to pursue real estate in the first place.

Because buying or selling a home isn’t just another transaction. It’s someone’s life.

It’s the family buying their first home. It’s the parents looking for more room as their children grow. It’s someone selling a home filled with years of memories. It’s the person starting over, taking a chance, or finally getting the fresh start they’ve worked so hard for.

And I understand how much those moments matter.

I know what it’s like to work hard for the life you want, to take chances, and to build something meaningful from the ground up.

When someone trusts me to help them buy or sell a home, I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I want my clients to feel heard, supported, informed, and confident that someone is genuinely looking out for their best interests.

I may be newer to real estate, but I’m not new to hard work, dedication, or putting people first.

Whether you’re buying your first home, selling a home filled with memories, relocating, or simply wondering what your next step might look like, I’d love the opportunity to help.

I’ll advocate for you, communicate openly, and put my heart into helping you reach your goals.

Because at the end of the day, real estate isn’t just about houses. It’s about the people who call them home. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who has supported me as I’ve started this new chapter. I’m excited to see where this journey takes me and the people I’ll have the opportunity to help along the way!

Everything feels overwhelming in the beginning. Real estate is no different than any other small business.

The first time I pursued real estate, I was constantly told to “work your sphere of influence”—friends, family, acquaintances, and anyone I had ever known. So I reached out to everyone. Some congratulated me, others left me on read, and after nearly a year of giving it everything I had, the fees became too expensive to justify. I had to walk away.

I won’t lie—it hurt. I took it personally when people I thought would support me chose someone else. I convinced myself it meant I wasn’t good enough, and I decided it was easier to give up.

For a while, I wanted to be bitter. I would see those same people promoting their own small businesses and thought about scrolling right past their posts. But that’s just not who I am. I genuinely love seeing people succeed, and I believe supporting others costs nothing.

A few months ago, I decided to give real estate another chance. This time, I went into it with a different mindset. I understood that sometimes strangers will support your business before the people who know you best—and that’s okay. It isn’t personal.

I’m so happy to say this experience has already been completely different, and I’m only one month in. The conversations are different, the opportunities are different, and most importantly, I’ve learned not to measure my worth by who chooses to work with me.

As I continue getting my name out there, I just want to say thank you to everyone who has liked a post, shared my content, referred my name, or even simply encouraged me. Every bit of support means more than you know.

I try to treat everyone with the same kindness and respect because I truly want to see others succeed, too.

I share my journey because I hope it reaches the person who feels discouraged. Starting something new is hard. Sometimes the first attempt doesn’t work out—not because you’re not capable, but because the timing wasn’t right. That doesn’t mean you should stop believing in yourself.

I’ll never forget the people who helped me along the way.

Thank you all for your support. 💚

Something I’ve realized lately is that some of the best things in life come from simply getting to know people.

As I start this new chapter in real estate, I’m not focused on who is buying or selling right now. I’m focused on building genuine connections, getting involved in the community, and meeting good people along the way.

Maybe you’ll move in six months, maybe five years, or maybe never. Either way, I’d love to connect. Life has a funny way of bringing people together when the timing is right.

I’m grateful for every conversation, every piece of advice, and every person who has supported me as I learn and grow in this industry. ❤️
