I am a Bay Area native and a proud team member of The Barocios Group.
Growing up with a single mother and three siblings was exciting, full of adventure, laughter, and plenty of love. But, like most families, we had our share of challenges. As a result, we often moved to new cities throughout the Bay Area. Some of the Bay Area cities we started anew in were Fremont, Hayward, Union City, Richmond, Vallejo, and Benicia; we even spent some time in the small coastal town of Half Moon Bay. Each city holds a special place in my heart.
My family and I put our roots down in Benicia when I was fifteen. I proudly called Benicia my home for twenty-two years. During my time in Benicia, I became an active member of my church and my children's school and became a yoga instructor at the Benicia Yoga House.
Three years ago, I found myself starting anew once again. However, this time around, it was just me and my two children: Aria, who is eight years old, and Leo, who is five years old.
We now call Pleasant Hill home. We thoroughly enjoy all that Contra Costa county has to offer. We spend time hiking the Lafayette Reservoir, shopping downtown Walnut Creek, Sushi, and movies at The Veranda.
I am familiar with the excitement, joy, and challenges of buying or selling a new home. I am also familiar with all that the great Bay Area cities have to offer. As your Real Estate agent, I aim to make your home buying and selling experience as seamless as possible; and help you discover the magic the Bay Area has to offer.
I look forward to working with you and helping you make the Bay Area your home.

My Approach
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Dream it
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Build it
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
