I love helping people & I love Residential REAL ESTATE! It is my passion to help my clients using my knowledge, expertise & skills to not only educate and support you throughout the process of buying or selling from beginning to closing but also being a strong advocate for you throughout. My commitment to my clients goes beyond the closing table, providing resources as needed for your home needs and regularly attending continuing education. Most recently, I have earned my PSA (Pricing Strategies Advisor) and Residential Real Estate Divorce Specialist certifications.

Born and raised in Cincinnati, I am passionate about our city and surrounding communities. As a Mason resident for over 15 years, I raised my family here and an active MADE Chamber Ambassador - I am passionate about supporting our local businesses and have also served in volunteer positions over the years with BSA Mason Troop 750. 

My husband Steve and I have been married for 6 years. We have 2 two boys, Jyan and Tristyn, along with bonus kids we've gained over the years. Our grandson, Toby, lights up our lives - being a grandparent is the best thing ever!
