Your Mission Realtor
Straight talk-Smart strategy

After decades of living and working in Mission, my business is built on a clear premise 

— real conversations, local insight, and a strategy shaped around what matters most to you, 

so you can move forward with confidence.


My Story

Growing up in Vancouver I assumed that’s where we’d stay, but things have a way of changing.

So back in 1998, after a third baby our townhouse in Champlain Heights was getting too small we craved a house with a yard and enough bedrooms for the kids. We soon realized that we weren’t going to get even close to that in the city, not with our budget.


We started looking at our options, and it became clear that Vancouver didn’t give us much more than what we already had. After exploring other communities, Mission stood out. It was smaller, but so much more affordable. But it wasn’t without trade-offs. My husband would have to commute, which wasn’t ideal, but overall the move made sense for where we were in life.


At first I was uneasy about leaving the convenience of the city. In Vancouver, everything was within walking distance; in Mission, that wasn’t the case. But you adjust faster than you think. Day-to-day life settled in, the community felt solid, and the lifestyle change started to fit. Now the kids are all grow up, built their own lives. And through it all Mission has remained home for me.



Living in Mission BC

I moved to Mission from Vancouver back in 1999, and I’ve been here ever since.

I raised my three kids here, watched the town grow and change, and somewhere along the way, 

Mission became home. It’s certainly not the same place it was when I first arrived, 

but there’s still a lot about living here that I love.

One of the things I've always appreciated about Mission is how close we are to nature.

With the Fraser River, beautiful lakes, forest trails, and mountains practically at our doorstep, 

there's no shortage of places to explore. I love getting outdoors, 

especially when I can bring my dog, Levi, along. 

Mission has changed quite a bit since I first arrived. New neighbourhoods have developed, 
familiar places have disappeared, and the community continues to evolve. 

But there's still something about living here that feels different from the larger cities of British Columbia.

After more than 25 years, Mission isn't just where I live and work. It's where I've raised my family, 
built lasting friendships, and made a life for myself. I've seen its good sides,
it's challenges, and plenty of changes along the way. And I still enjoy calling it home.




“Can I trust you to be honest with me and help me 
stay away from something I’ll regret?”

It’s a fair question. Buying or selling affects your time, your money, and your next chapter,

and no one wants to feel unsure about what comes next.




When Everything Is Done

People often tell me they felt supported from beginning to end.

They weren’t overwhelmed, they weren’t left guessing, and the plan always made sense. What they walk away with is a solid

understanding of their choices —and confidence that the decisions they made were the right ones for them.

I live and work here in Mission, and most of my days are spent— meeting people at their kitchen tables, on the phone, or walking

through a home. And when I’m back in my office, I’m usually reviewing market data or planning next steps for clients. Mission is my

community, and this is the market I’m committed to serving.
