Deeply rooted in her hometown, Carolyn has served on the board of the Morgan Hill Parent Child Nursery School and remains actively involved in her children's education. Whether she's organizing neighborhood events, leading community contests, or supporting small businesses, Carolyn thrives on bringing people together.
At home, Carolyn finds her greatest inspiration in her husband, their three children, their beloved Chihuahua, Sissy. For her, real estate isn't just about houses — it's about creating community, building relationships, and helping families feel truly at home.
