In my eighth-grade journal, I wrote that I wanted to be a teacher and a realtor. Who even knew what a realtor was back in the seventies? But somehow, a seed was planted—and it never stopped growing. Today, I’m proud to say I’ve lived both dreams. I’m a licensed teacher who’s taught in the classroom, and now I teach every day—guiding my clients through the home buying and selling process with clarity, confidence, and care. Since 1995, I’ve been a full-time real estate professional, continually sharpening my skills and knowledge to better serve my clients. I hold certifications in ABR® (Accredited Buyer’s Representative), e-PRO®, staging, investment properties, listing strategy, and negotiation. Real estate is constantly evolving, and I stay on top of it all—so you don’t have to. But real estate is about more than just transactions—it’s about people, families, and the life moments that make a house a home. A Bit More About Me…I married my college sweetheart and together we raised wonderfully active children with full calendars of sports, music, academics, and social lives. Life was a beautiful blur of PTO meetings, church and community volunteering, and cheering from the sidelines. My juggling skills have been refined over these years. We also experienced the richness and challenges of a multi-generational home, caring for my mother in her later years while raising our kids through middle school and college. That season taught me so much about balance, compassion, and the deep importance of home. I’m a lifelong dog lover but more recently cats have been added to my menagerie. —Pets have always been part of my day (and yes, I absolutely assign them human personalities). I’m a city girl at heart, but over the years I’ve come to truly appreciate the pace and personality of suburban life. Like tight-knit city neighborhoods, the suburbs offer real community—neighbors who know your name, look out for one another, and bring a true sense of belonging. In those rare spare moments, I find joy in gardening, reading, long walks, movies, dancing, and local concerts. But most of all, I treasure time spent with my family and friends—that’s what fills my cup. Whether you're buying your first home, selling a cherished property, or investing in your future, I’ll walk you through each step with warmth, experience, and insight.
