With deep roots in the South Bend, Mishawaka, and Granger community, I bring a unique blend of experience, passion, and dedication to my role as a REALTOR®. My journey began in the culinary world, where I attended culinary school and, alongside my husband George, operated Bravo Café and Kalamata Catering. That chapter of my life instilled in me the importance of hard work, attention to detail, and delivering exceptional customer experiences—values I carry into real estate every day.
Being a wife to George and a mother to Agape and Tommy is the joy and purpose of my life. A lifelong member of St. Andrew Greek Orthodox Church, family and community are at the heart of everything I do. Whether I’m cooking for loved ones, spending time outdoors, enjoying music (I’m a proud Swiftie!), or caring for my dogs, I believe in creating meaningful connections—and that same philosophy guides how I serve my clients.
I am an Accredited Buyer's Representative and hold a Military Relocation Professional certification. I’m also honored to serve on our local REALTOR® Governmental Affairs Committee, staying actively involved in the issues that impact our community and housing market.
My love for serving others fuels my passion for helping people find a place to call home. With years of experience, I offer personalized attention, honest guidance, and unwavering support throughout every step of the process. My goal is to make you feel confident, comfortable, and truly cared for.
I am committed to exceeding your expectations. Referrals and recommendations are always welcomed, as I strive to make a positive impact on every client I serve.
Let’s connect and turn your real estate dreams into reality—I would be honored to help you every step of the way.
