Licensed Real Estate Broker | Community Advocate | Local Market Expert

Born and raised in Greenwich, I have a lifelong connection to the community I proudly serve. A graduate of the Greenwich public school system and longtime participant in local recreational and sports programs, I’ve built deep roots here—roots that now extend to my own children, who’ve followed similar paths in both academics a

nd athletics. As a Licensed Real Estate Broker since 1999, I bring over two decades of trusted experience, professionalism, and hyper-local market knowledge to every client relationship. I currently work as a Broker Associate at Compass CT’s Greenwich office and am a proud graduate of the Real Estate Institute. I also hold certifications as a Business Development Agent and Certified Real Estate Negotiator, and I’m a licensed Notary Public. Clients know me as a strategic, organized professional who educates, advocates, and provides patient, personalized guidance throughout every stage of the buying and selling process. I’m always available—whether it’s preparing your home for market, navigating negotiations, or troubleshooting the unexpected. I pride myself on thinking creatively and finding smart, tailored solutions to any challenge. Outside of real estate, I enjoy spending time with my family and giving back to the community. I have a deep love for animals and am passionate about supporting local rescues and advocacy efforts. Whether I’m assisting a client or volunteering my time, I approach every commitment with heart, integrity, and dedication. Professional Affiliations

Unpopular opinion: you probably don’t need half of what’s on your “must-have” list. 😅

So I’m about to de-influence you on the features that feel like non-negotiables… but really aren’t. 👀

We’ve been conditioned to want bigger, newer, more. But after years of helping buyers, I’ve seen this play out over and over again: the things people swear they can’t live without are often the things they barely think about six months later.

What’s something you thought you had to have… that you ended up sacrificing or never using? ↓

AI is out here doing everything.Proofreading emails, tracking the news, finding hard-to-source products... and apparently telling people who the best Realtor in Greenwich is. Just saying. 😏

Here's something most buyers don't know: there are some things your Realtor legally can't tell you, and it's not us being secretive.

The Fair Housing Act exists to prevent housing discrimination based on race, religion, s*x, disability, and more. So while some questions might feel straightforward, the answers aren't always ours to give.

What we CAN do is point you in the right direction, answer every question about the home itself, and make sure you have the tools to decide what matters most for your lifestyle.

Before I list a home, I sit down with my sellers, and we talk through everything (not just price and strategy).

→ The real plan, not just launch week.
→ The honest market update, not the version that sounds good.
→ The prep list that’s actually worth your time and money.
→ And the pricing conversation most people avoid, but absolutely need.

Because the sellers who feel most confident during the process are the ones who went in prepared. They know what to expect, what the strategy is, and what we’ll do if the market doesn’t respond right away.

That kind of clarity doesn’t happen by accident. It comes from the conversations most agents skip.

Most of us will spend this weekend at a cookout, on a beach, or doing something that feels easy and ordinary. And that's kind of the whole point.

The freedom to have a normal weekend (to grill with your neighbors, sit on your porch, let your kids run around the yard), exists because someone chose to give up theirs. Permanently.

Memorial Day isn't really about the long weekend. It's about the people who made sure we'd have one. We remember you today. And we're grateful.

Home of the free, because of the brave. 🇺🇸 ❤️

Most sellers focus on price, but buyers decide how they feel about your home in the first 30 seconds.

And it’s usually not the big things that turn them off — it’s the small, easily overlooked details. Buyers are paying attention to everything, and some of the things that quietly kill a showing are so fixable that it hurts to watch them cost someone money.

Swipe → for the things that give buyers the ick (and what to pay attention to before you hit the market) 👀

Save this if you’re thinking about selling, or send it to someone who needs to hear it before they go live. And if you want a pre-listing walkthrough that catches all of this before it becomes someone else’s first impression, DM now.

Your inspector is there to identify safety issues and major defects, not the minor details that will quietly drive you crazy once you move in.

Nobody's job is to warn you about the annoying stuff. So I will. Swipe → for the things that never show up in a report but absolutely show up in your daily life.

What's something you noticed after move-in day that you wish you had known beforehand? ↓ The comments are a safe space. 😂
