With 16+ consecutive years as a top producer at a firm ranked #1 for over 44 years, I’m honored to be a past Sales Associate of the Year — but prouder to help clients succeed in any market. Since 2004, I’ve closed hundreds of sales, guided homeowners through complex challenges, and negotiated exceptional outcomes on everything from coastal homes and rural retreats to luxury estates and first-time buys. A UC Santa Cruz graduate in East Asian Studies, I planned for law school before falling in love with the Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay lifestyle. I’ve served on the boards of the Capitola-Soquel Chamber, Women’s Council of REALTORS®, and Modern Real Estate Professionals, and actively support local fundraisers and events. Rooted in real estate since childhood, I’m a lifelong advocate for my clients. When not negotiating deals, I’m often playing competitive beach volleyball — living the lifestyle I’m proud to share.
