About
I was born and raised in the East Bay, and as a third-generation El Cerrito resident, I have a deep connection to this community. After spending ten years in Southern California for college, where I met my husband and started a family, I returned to El Cerrito in 2013, excited to reconnect with my roots and contribute to the place I’ve always called home.
Before transitioning to real estate, I spent nearly 20 years in customer service, which taught me the importance of truly understanding people’s needs. I was drawn to real estate because I wanted to guide others through one of the biggest financial and emotional decisions of their lives, making sure they feel empowered, confident, and supported every step of the way. One of my favorite aspects of working with buyers and sellers is the educational component. I love helping my clients make informed decisions, knowing that they have the knowledge and support they need to feel secure. Many of my clients have said that working with me feels like partnering with a friend or family member who genuinely has their best interests at heart.
While I primarily focus on the East Bay cities like El Cerrito, Albany, Kensington, Richmond, Berkeley, and Oakland, my relationships with clients often take me beyond these areas to places like Vallejo, Concord, and Lafayette. My commitment is always to provide top-tier representation, and if I feel that someone else can better serve my clients in a particular area, I make sure they’re connected with a trusted Realtor who specializes in that region.
Outside of real estate, you can
often find me at a good trivia night—I’m a regular at Gilman Brewing and Ocean View Brew Works with my trivia team, Buffalo Stance (hopefully, some of you know where the name comes from!). I’m also a proud mom, constantly on the go, cheering on my kids as they play volleyball, flag football, baseball, ultimate frisbee, and whatever else they decide to try next. I’m deeply involved in my community, volunteering at my church and my kids’ schools, even if it occasionally embarrasses them.
I was incredibly honored to be voted Best Real Estate Agent in the 2023 Best of El Cerrito Awards, and I’m proud to have earned my Broker’s license the same year to better serve my clients. I’m also very proud of the work my brokerage, Zip Code East Bay, does in the community, from organizing the Colusa Circle 5K to partnering with Giveback Homes and Good Guest Kensington. But most of all, I’m grateful for my amazing husband and the wonderful people my children are becoming.
