About Me
My Story
By combining knowledge in Real Estate and many years as an Interior Designer, I am able to offer a dynamic package to Buyers & Sellers like no other, with a specific niche on styling & staging.
I have been a Central Texas Resident of over 17 Years. The US Army assigned my husband and our family to the area for duty in 2006. After many deployments and the completion of his 23 Years of service, we now call TEXAS "home". I was born and raised in the Garden State of New Jersey… So yes, I am a Jersey Girl at heart.
My Career
Real Estate & Service
I began my career in Real Estate with Centex Homes in 2007 when my family arrived for duty to Ft. Hood, Texas, representing them as a Builder and selling their Inventory homes as well as New Construction. My heart has a special place for our Military service members & their families, and I look forward to continuing to serve those who serve and pay my thanks forward with the BEST experience for my clients possible.
As a Broker Associate, I have spent the last 5 years building the Designed 2 Sell Real Estate Group, curating Agents and industry professionals to work collaboratively to bring our clients and community the best services and experience available.
Design & Media
Credentials & Background
For the past 26 years I have re-designed, updated, built, decorated and consulted for numerous Real Estate Professionals, Developers, Builders and Investors. My design work has been featured in USAA Magazine, Army Times & Military Times, N2 Magazine, Tex Appeal Magazine, House to Home Magazine and featured on ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. My most recent appearance was on the popular HGTV House Hunters Renovations.
During my time as a military spouse, and during one of my husband's many deployments, I authored & published 'That Military House: Move it, Organize it & Decorate it'. I have had the opportunity to travel to Military installations across the United States, offering design advice and decorating solutions for challenges often faced with military transfers.
