Born and raised in Southern California. I worked in Real Estate (Appraisal) from 1994 to 2009, then transitioned to Banking from 2009 to 2019. I moved to Frisco, Texas on September 9, 2019. That wasn’t intentional. Lol. My love for Real Estate called me back in 2020, but this time as a Realtor, helping families directly instead of being behind a desk. I’m so happy I did because it’s my passion and part of my superpower. Read on, and you’ll understand what I’m talking about.
I am happily married to the love of my life, and I am a girl mom! I have three daughters: Brittaney, 29, a hairstylist; Brianna, 27, a Sports and Fitness Coach; and Paula, 22, a college student working towards her bachelor’s degree in psychology. I think we kept Sephora and Ulta in business in the 2000s because the amount of teenage makeup in our home could fill buckets. Lol. Oh, and let’s not forget the nail salons.
I am also a Mimi (we don’t say the G-word because I don’t think I will ever be ready for it). Her name is Victoria, and she’s 4. Her mom is Brittaney, and they live in California. However, thank goodness for FaceTime and Amazon. We chat almost every day, and I can spoil her from 1,400 miles away.
My favorite accessory is my high heels. I LOVE THEM!! My mom put me in pumps at the age of 5, and I’ve never looked back! My feet actually feel uncomfortable in flats or tennis shoes. No likey. I’m also 5’1-ish, so it changes my world to be 4 inches taller. 😁
Favorite food – Seafood!! All of it! I can eat it three times a day, seven days a week. If I were ever to be stranded on an island, I wouldn’t mind. Seafood, beach, sunsets, warm weather, and hopefully a razor. I would be in heaven.
I love to dance!! I was on Drill Team in High School. When I turned 18, I loved going to the dance clubs anytime I could. Fast forward to Covid. :( I never imagined a world without dance clubs. Lol. Now that I live in Texas, country line dancing is next on my list. My friend Kathy and I met and hung out with Kenny Chesney and Vince Vaughn after Kenny’s concert backstage at the Angels Stadium in California. A young man with a pass said he could take us back to meet him, but we had to turn our phones off, or else we couldn’t go backstage. I was ready to throw my phone in the trash!! My friend Kathy is the only proof I have that we hung out with Vince and Kenny.
My “superpower” is making friends and connecting with people. I love meeting people from ALL different walks of life. I love learning about them, their traditions, their background, their family, what they are passionate about. It makes for great conversations and forms great, long-lasting relationships. One of the many reasons why I love my career.
Favorite childhood movie, “The Goonies!” I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched the movie as a kid and as an adult with my kids. My husband took me to Astoria, Oregon, where they filmed the movie, and we visited all the buildings, including the house where the movie was shot. Pretty epic in my book.
I love ALL music genres. I looked it up, and there are 41 primary music genres with 331 subcategories. I don’t know about the subcategories, but when I hear music, I’m truly joyful. Strangely, even with Heavy Metal. Just watch the sound/volume, not too loud please. Lol. I love to dance, so if music is playing in any language, as long as there is a beat, I will dance to it.
