I have spent 23 years in the classroom teaching elementary and middle school-aged students at Frisco Montessori Academy. I am certified in both the Lower and Upper Elementary Montessori curriculum. Treating children with respect truly matters because it shows them they’re valued and heard. When we speak to kids with kindness and listen to what they have to say, it builds their confidence and helps them feel safe. I’ve found that when children feel respected, they’re more willing to open up, try new things, and treat others with that same respect. It’s not just about good behavior—it’s about helping them grow into thoughtful, compassionate people. Graduating from Abilene Christian University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Interdisciplinary Studies, I have always had a passion for serving others and connecting with those in my community. After retiring from teaching, I was inspired to shift my love for helping others from Read more the classroom setting to assisting families with their real estate needs. I pride myself on my ability to treat all of my clients with respect and care and offer exceptional service. My enthusiasm, diligent work ethic, and compassion allows me to earn my clients’ trust, build meaningful and lasting professional relationships, and promote open, effective communication. Born and raised in Plano, Texas, I have lived in the North Texas area my entire life. I am well-connected to my community and understand the variety of cultures and diversity that make this area so special and unique. When I am not pursuing my clients’ goals, I love spending time with my husband of 25 years and my two beautiful children. Family has always been at the heart of everything that I strive to accomplish!
