Feeling incredibly grateful today. So honored to be recognized as a top 20 Real Estate Advisor in our Venice office. To be up there alongside such talented, hard-working advisors is truly humbling.

A huge thank you to my amazing manager broker Linda- you are seriously the best. Your leadership, guidance, and constant support mean more to me than you know. I would not be here without you.

Still recovering from all the laughter (and calories) at the most delicious charity gala in Venice, FL! 🍷✨

We were honored to represent our Sotheby’s brokerage at this one-of-a-kind event at the beautiful Plantation Golf & Country Club, where each table of local small businesses got to cook their own dinner (yes, really!) 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳
Every team took on either the entrée, salad, or dessert in a live cooking class demo… and let’s just say my teammate and I were strategically assigned to salad duty - for cooking safety reasons. 😂 (No open flames were harmed in the making of our vinaigrette.)

The evening wrapped with an exciting live auction, and best of all, every bit of fun supported the incredible Laurel Civic Association, helping children and families in our community thrive. 💚

Great food, even better company, and a cause that truly matters. What more could you ask for?

✨Just Closed on Venice Island! ✨

It’s no secret that today’s market is favoring buyers, which can make selling a home extra challenging. But with strong negotiations, open communication, and a collaborative approach with the other agent, we were able to bring this listing to the closing table successfully.

I’m proud that we created a win-win for everyone involved! 🤝

Grateful for the teamwork and excited for the next chapter on beautiful Venice Island! 🏝️
