About Me

I began my real estate career in May 2009 in Red Deer, Alberta, working with a young couple purchasing their first home. From that moment, I knew I had found my calling. Sharing in their excitement and helping them achieve their dream was exhilarating and confirmed my passion for real estate. Originally from Colombia and fluent in Spanish, I’m proud to assist clients from diverse backgrounds, ensuring clear communication and understanding throughout the process.

Later that year, I moved to Airdrie to start a new chapter with my husband. By October 2010, I had expanded my real estate practice to include the Airdrie and Calgary markets while continuing to serve clients in Central Alberta, including Red Deer.

Over the past 15+ years, I’ve had the privilege of guiding clients through some of life’s most significant transitions. While I specialize in helping first-time home buyers navigate the process with confidence, I’ve also supported clients in every stage of life—whether selling their first home, investing in real estate projects, or upsizing or downsizing to fit their evolving needs.

I’m committed to staying at the forefront of the industry by continually enhancing my skills and knowledge. From keeping up with the latest market trends and real estate laws to mastering negotiation strategies and understanding new home builds, I strive to offer my clients the best possible guidance and support.

I’m deeply grateful for the trust my clients place in me and work hard every day to exceed their expectations. My goal is to make the buying and selling process as seamless and enjoyable as possible while delivering exceptional results.

When I’m not helping clients achieve their real estate goals, I love exploring Alberta’s beautiful parks with my husband, Miles, and our dog, Kirby. I also cherish time spent with my niece and nephew, Emma and Eoin, embracing my role as their proud and fun-loving aunty.
