The Fredericksburg Area Association of REALTORS® Member Spotlight feature allows members of the community to get to know each other before working with each other in a transaction. Each member answers a series of questions to reveal more about themselves as people. It is FAAR’s hope that learning about an individual may spark connections that blossom via email, phone conversations or in-person meetings at events and classes.

Why do you love working in real estate?
Because real estate is so much more than buying or selling a home—it’s about serving people during one of the biggest transitions of their lives. As a faith-led realtor, I see this work as a calling. God has placed me here to guide, educate, and advocate—especially for single-income households, first-time buyers, and families who may feel overlooked or unsure where to start.
Coming from a background in pharmacy, I naturally approach real estate with care, education, and attention to detail—like helping someone understand a treatment plan, I help my clients understand their options, protect their future, and make confident decisions. I love breaking things down, improving credit, avoiding scams, and creating a clear path forward instead of fear or confusion.
Favorite Work Story
My first buyer client came from an open house! She was a baker who was discussing her kitchen needs and as we started to carry on conversation we discovered I have been a fan of hers on social media for years! Best baker ever! If you only knew how much I love a good cake lol. It was such a God wink I’m in the right industry.
What are you most proud of in your career?
I’m so proud to have started my career as a part time agent and have completed over 5 rentals and one buyer within the first 7 months of my career! All while raising 2 beautiful girls and maintaining my primary career as a medication access specialist. God has truly blessed me!
Do you have a special cause or volunteer your time?
I volunteer in the children’s care center at my church, Strong Tower!
