Community Involvement
I am passionate about giving back to Central Texas, and my community involvement reflects that commitment. Through my work with the Junior League of Bell County, I support initiatives that empower women, strengthen families, and address local needs in the Belton-Temple area. I also volunteer with the Ronald McDonald House of Temple, where I help provide comfort and care for families with seriously ill children, creating a welcoming, home-like environment during challenging times. These experiences allow me to serve my community beyond real estate, supporting the families and neighborhoods that make Central Texas so special.
HOBBIES/INTEREST
When I'm not helping families buy and sell homes in Central Texas, you can usually find me running local trails, curled up with a good book, or exploring new restaurants around the Belton-Temple area. I also love to travel and discover new places, but some of my favorite moments are spent relaxing at home with my dog and cats. Staying active and connected to my community fuels both my personal life and my real estate career.
FAMILY
Family is at the heart of everything I do. I am happily married to my high school sweetheart, who also runs a local business in Central Texas. I work closely with my mom, who is my real estate partner, and she even shares an office with my dad, who is a local chiropractor--so you could say we're a pretty close?knit bunch. We always joke that when you hire one of us, you get all of us, because supporting our clients and our community is truly a family affair. At home, our family also includes our rescue dog and a couple of mischievous cats, who keep life fun and full of personality.

FAQ
When buying a home in the Temple-Belton, Texas area, my biggest advice is to get pre-approved for a mortgage early and partner with a local expert who understands our market. Homes in popular neighborhoods like Belton ISD and near Fort Cavazos can move quickly, so being ready to act is key. I guide my buyers through the process step by step—helping them identify the best neighborhoods in Belton, Temple, Salado, or Harker Heights that fit their lifestyle, whether they want top-rated schools, easy commutes, or quiet communities. My goal is to make the home-buying process as seamless and stress-free as possible.
If you’re selling in Central Texas, pricing and presentation are everything. My advice is to start with a professional market analysis so we can price your home competitively while maximizing your profit. Homes in Temple, Belton, and surrounding areas that are staged well, professionally photographed, and marketed online consistently sell faster and for top dollar. With the Home in Texas Team, we combine local expertise and proven marketing strategies—including SEO-rich online exposure and social media campaigns—to showcase your home to the right buyers.
I’ve worked with a wide range of clients, from first-time homebuyers and military families relocating to Fort Cavazos to move-up buyers, investors, and sellers looking to downsize or maximize their equity. Many of my clients come to me for local knowledge of the best neighborhoods in Belton and Temple, Texas, as well as my personalized approach to guiding them through every step of the process. No matter the situation, I focus on clear communication and client care so each transaction feels smooth and supported.
Recently, I had the privilege of helping a young family move back to Central Texas to be closer to their relatives. Initially, we toured several homes around Belton and Temple, Texas, and they felt they had plenty of time to find the perfect fit. But as life often does, their timeline suddenly shifted—they needed to move much faster than expected.
Thanks to my local market knowledge and experience with fast-moving transactions, I was able to quickly identify the right home, negotiate on their behalf, and guide them through closing in less than a month. They were understandably anxious about the sudden timeline change, but I eased their concerns with clear communication and step-by-step guidance, ultimately getting them into a home they loved.
Helping this family relocate to the Temple-Belton area reminded me why I love what I do—turning stressful transitions into smooth experiences while helping families come home to Central Texas.
I grew up in Central Texas, surrounded by the small-town charm and growing communities of Belton and Temple. My mom has been a Realtor for over 21 years, and I spent my life watching her help families find their perfect homes and seeing the impact that local real estate has on our community. My family also owns several local businesses in the area, which gave me a deep appreciation for supporting and growing the community I love.
Following in my mom’s footsteps felt natural—I wanted to continue her legacy of serving our neighbors while helping families buy and sell in the best neighborhoods in Temple, Belton, Salado, and Harker Heights. Today, as part of the Home in Texas Team, I combine our family’s local roots, community involvement, and 20+ years of combined real estate experience to guide clients through every step of their journey with care and expertise.
My professional training comes from years of hands-on experience in the Central Texas real estate market, where I’ve learned how to navigate complex transactions, market homes effectively, and guide first-time buyers with confidence. Growing up in a real estate family with over 20+ years of combined experience has equipped me with the skills to help clients buy and sell in Belton, Temple, Salado, and Harker Heights successfully.
