Professional Bio

I joined the Butler Real Estate team in October 2006 after completing my Real Estate Associate coursework. Since earning my license in September 2007, I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside a fantastic group of dedicated Realtors here at Butler Real Estate.

Before transitioning into real estate, I built a career in banking that spanned over 30 years, working in a variety of customer service roles. The majority of my experience was within the Lending Department, where I served as a loan secretary, worked in collections, and eventually advanced to the roles of loan officer and branch manager.

Bringing that extensive background in finance and customer relations into real estate has been a natural fit. I truly enjoy helping clients find just the right property on Grand Lake—whether it's a full-time residence, a vacation getaway, a lot to build a dream home, or even a commercial location to launch a new business.

Personal Bio

Though I was born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Grand Lake has been home since 1993. My husband and I moved here to raise our two sons, both of whom attended Ketchum Schools. Our oldest son has lived in Atlanta, Georgia for the past 20 years with our granddaughter and grandson, and works for Delta Airlines.

In addition to my real estate career, my husband and I owned the Blue Water Bait and Tackle store in Disney, Oklahoma beginning in 2005. We’ve loved meeting visitors from all over the world and sharing fishing tips with both locals and newcomers. My husband officially retired in November 2024, but we continue to enjoy the vibrant community life that makes Grand Lake so special.

Every year, I’m amazed by the number of wonderful people I get to meet and the faraway places they travel from just to enjoy all that Grand Lake has to offer. If you’re looking for your own slice of lake life, I’d be honored to help you find that perfect spot to call home
