I am a native Oklahoman, born in Bartlesville and raised in Dewey before my family moved to Tulsa during my elementary school years. I began my real estate career in 2007 and transitioned to a referral agent with Chinowth & Cohen in 2015. I later took a sabbatical from active real estate to pursue my counseling education, earning a master’s degree in professional counseling from Oral Roberts University in 2022. Although my professional journey expanded into counseling and education, my passion for real estate and helping others achieve their homeownership goals has remained strong.

I am currently a doctoral candidate in Counselor Education and Supervision at Walden
University. Having completed my doctoral coursework, I am now entering the dissertation phase of my program. I am passionate about teaching, training, and mentoring future counseling professionals. My real estate experience complements these goals, as both fields require effective communication, ethical decision-making, advocacy, relationship-building, and the ability to guide people through important life transitions.

I have been married to the love of my life for 45 years. Together, we have three children, seven grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. A fun fact about me is that I traveled to five countries and visited 15 states in a single year.
