I joined Colliers International in 2001 as a member of the Office Services Group, bringing over 20 years of commercial real estate experience to the team.  I participate in transaction management and facilitate successful lease and sale transactions for the clients and brokers of my team.  I provide a high level of professionalism and superior client service to every assignment and have participated in numerous transactions involving office, medical, land and investment properties.  I manage the compilation of research materials, create marketing and promotional materials, prepare financial analysis reports, and provide various other brokerage support services to ensure the success of each project in which I am involved. My strengths are attention to detail, unique problem-solving skills and a commitment to excellence.  I have built an outstanding reputation in the local real estate community as a dedicated professional with a strong work ethic and a proven record of providing excellent internal and external client service to accomplish team goals. 

Prior to joining Colliers International, I was with a smaller commercial real estate firm.  I  also spent eighteen years working with homebuilders in Houston, Texas and in Austin, Texas, gaining a multitude of knowledge in many different aspects of residential real estate transactions.

I joined Colliers in 2010 as Director of Market Research bringing 26 years of commercial real estate experience to the firm. I initiate proactive market research projects to further the business goals of the company. I write and prepare 29 market reports annually which include quarterly reports on Houston’s retail, office, industrial and healthcare properties. Further, I prepare statistical ownership reports for various clients as well as an annual Houston Economic Overview. I also create PowerPoint market presentations, trade journal articles, and other marketing materials in support of the company's business endeavors. I work with senior management in planning the company's marketing strategy and public relations support for local and national conferences, luncheon meetings, recruitment programs, and special events. I work closely with the company's brokers to develop effective custom market research material specific to both existing and potential clients.
