I am a proud Mexican native living in the beautiful area of Tacoma. With a background as a registered nurse and a professional athlete, my journey took a transformative turn when I moved to the USA at age 21. Initially unaware that real estate would become my calling, I soon realized it resonated deeply with my values—especially the belief that a home is the foundation of our lives and carries immense significance.

 My own challenges in pursuing homeownership inspired me to obtain my real estate license.This experience opened my eyes to the difficulties many face in achieving the dream of homeownership. Now, I am dedicated to helping individuals from diverse backgrounds, whether facing difficulties or starting fresh chapters, empowering them to realize  their dreams of homeownership. 

Family is the heart of my life, along with the vibrant community I've built in Tacoma. I am passionate about bringing people together and providing every single resource available in the book. My mission is to educate and empower others on their journey, as I continue to create a career I am truly proud of. I look forward to connecting and exploring all the possibilities for your future too!

This is the North Tacoma Craftsman you’ve been waiting for! Built in 1917, this lovely historic home is filled with the warmth and original character you just can’t recreate. We’re talking gorgeous hardwood floors, coffered ceilings, original built-ins, and timeless details throughout that give every room a welcoming feel. With 5 bedrooms and 2.25 bathrooms, including a primary bedroom with its own private bath, there’s plenty of space to spread out while still keeping that cozy Craftsman feel. And the big-ticket stuff? Already taken care of. A 2018 roof, updated and rewired electrical, newer furnace (2023), and fully rebuilt chimney mean some of the biggest projects that come with owning a historic home have already been done, leaving the fun cosmetic updates for you to make this home completely your own. Out back, the deck feels made for slow mornings with coffee, summer dinners, and a house full of friends. Plus, three off-street parking spaces add everyday convenience. But what really makes this home special is where you get to live. You’re right in the heart of North Tacoma, close to the restaurants, coffee shops, and local favorites along 6th Ave, minutes from the University of Puget Sound, and surrounded by the community traditions that make this neighborhood so fun — like Art on the Ave and Porchfest. Historic, warm, full of character, and right in the middle of one of Tacoma’s most vibrant communities. This one is special.
