A little bit about me...

Flagstaff has been my home and the heart of my real estate career for more than two decades. I've been a licensed REALTOR® since 2001, beginning in the Phoenix and North Scottsdale luxury market before returning home to Flagstaff in 2003 — an experience that shaped how I approach every price point today.

From 2003 to 2012, I worked as a new home sales agent with local builders including Keepsake Homes, Capstone Homes, and Holdsworth, guiding more than 200 new-construction sales across communities like Forest Highlands, Pine Canyon, Flagstaff Ranch, and Ponderosa Trails. That hands-on experience with new construction, alongside residential resale, gives me a rare depth of insight into Northern Arizona's most distinctive communities.

I joined Russ Lyon Sotheby's International Realty as an Associate Broker in 2012, and since 2007 I've consistently ranked among the Top 20 REALTORS® in Northern Arizona, earning the Lyon's Elite Top 1% Award over the years. I'm also a Ninja Selling graduate and Brown Belt, which reflects my relationship-first approach: the best results start with listening, understanding what matters most to each client, and providing thoughtful guidance from start to finish.

Beyond real estate, I'm deeply connected to the Flagstaff community through local schools, swim, dance, and other community causes. Whether you're buying your first home, selling a property you've loved for years, or searching for something truly special in Northern Arizona, my goal is to provide genuine care, local expertise, and a real estate experience built around you.
