Her Story

I spent over a decade teaching in Columbia public schools before I made the leap into real estate — and honestly, the two have more in common than you’d think. Both are about patience, clear communication, and making sure no one feels lost in the process.

I’ve called Columbia home for more than ten years, and between my own roots here and my husband’s deep family ties across Cole County, I bring an understanding of this community that goes well beyond the MLS. I know the neighborhoods, the schools, and the little things that make a house feel like home.

““I'll make sure you understand every step before you sign anything. No surprises.” ”

First-time buyers are who I love working with most. There’s a lot to learn the first time around, and I take real pride in being the steady, educational voice in your corner — walking you through every form, every deadline, and every decision so you can buy with confidence instead of guesswork.
