Professional Qualifications and Education
To empower you in creating outstanding lifetime homeownership experiences so you will gladly introduce me to the people you care about that may need my help.
My Philosophy: Take care of the whole client, and they will take care of you
I work by referral. What this means for you is rather than dividing my time between marketing myself and working for you, I devote 100% of my energy on taking care of you and your needs. By doing this, I hope to make you so extraordinarily happy with my services that you gladly refer me to the people you care about that may need my help.
I specialize in historic homes and all of Central and West Tucson, but I have assisted clients throughout all of Pima County and would be happy to help you no matter what part of town you live, work and play. I work with many first-time homebuyers, and take great care to educate them on all the steps in the homebuying process and beyond.

You could take it from me, but you can also read what my clients have to say. Read Testimonials here:
My husband, Juan, and I were married 7 years ago in our hometown of Chicago. He is a 6th grade English teacher at BASIS Oro Valley.
I love animals. Our household currently has two dogs (Chrissy & Max), two cats (Corwin & Flynn), two ferrets (PJ & Juniper), one turtle (Ushi), and one corn snake (Nigel). I feel that pets are an important part of the family, and I help my clients find homes that fill the needs of every family member.
I currently live in a Santa Fe home on the West side, nestled in the foothills of the Tucson Mountains. I enjoy the natural beauty of the Sonoran desert every day in my own backyard.
I own a 1920 historic home in Feldman’s Neighborhood, which was our home for the past 5 years. My husband and I have slowly fixed it up ourselves, and now are experiencing the joys of being landlords. Historic homes are truly my passion, and I strive to learn as much as I can about them.
Some of my hobbies include yoga, home renovation, stamping & card-making, cooking, reading, and dining out with friends. (Looking for good restaurants in Tucson? Just click here to ask me!).
Most of my extended family has lived in Tucson since the early 80′s, and I have spent many childhood days here visiting them and growing to love Tucson.
I went to two colleges: the University of Arizona, and Northeastern Illinois University. I changed majors several times before finally deciding on English, emphasizing on Writing, and a thematic minor exploring Education in Minority Cultures. During this process, I “accidentally” found my career in real estate. After five years in real estate, I returned to the University of Arizona part-time to finish my degree, graduating Magna Cum Laude in May 2011.
