About Me

A native of Savannah, Georgia, I moved to Raleigh in 2015. Before that, I lived in New York City. Having lived in places with high walkability factors, where faces become familiar quickly, I have a passion for connecting the people I work with to communities where they feel at home.

As a realtor since 2021, my favorite part of my job is listening to my clients so I have a deep understanding of what matters to them when finding their next home. A thrifty person (with extravagant tastes) by nature, I am super committed to helping people make the most of their investment in real estate. As an investor myself, I firmly believe in the long-term benefits of property ownership. I have two daughters who are Wake County Public School graduates and can attest to the quality of education available here. Raleigh was such a good choice for my family that one of them decided to continue her studies at NC State.
In my free time, you will find me traveling and taking in as much art, culture, music, and outdoor adventure as possible. My favorite place in Raleigh is the North Carolina Museum of Art and its surrounding park as it is a combination of all things that I appreciate. I use the rest of my empty-nester spare time trying to convince my husband that we need a third Dachshund.
