As 2025 comes to a close, I find myself pausing to reflect with a full and grateful heart. Real estate moves quickly, but the relationships behind it deserve time, appreciation, and care. This year marked a meaningful milestone for me, both personally and professionally.
I celebrated 27 years in real estate and was honoured to receive the Sales Achievement Award. While recognition is meaningful, it has never been the reason I do this work.
After 27 years as a real estate agent serving St. Thomas and London, Ontario, I can confidently say this career has never been about houses. It’s about people, trust, and guiding clients when decisions feel big and sometimes overwhelming.

What matters most are the moments that happen quietly. The conversations at kitchen tables. The nervous first showings. The seniors downsizing after a lifetime of memories. And the families who invite me into such an important chapter of their lives.After 27 years as a real estate agent serving St. Thomas and London, Ontario, I can confidently say this career has never been about houses.

Every move carries emotion, history, and hope for what comes next. Whether someone is buying their first home, selling a long-time family property, or navigating a downsizing transition, my role has always been to listen carefully, offer steady guidance, and respect how personal these decisions are. To my clients, past and present, thank you for choosing me, referring me, and allowing me to do work that genuinely fills my heart. To my community, thank you for supporting local and believing in relationships over transactions. And to my family, thank you for your constant support, patience, and encouragement behind the scenes. I could not do this without you.Looking Ahead to 2026
As I look ahead to 2026, I’m excited, motivated, and more committed than ever to guiding you with honesty, care, and experience you can count on. Here’s to gratitude, growth, and continuing to change lives one home at a time.
