About Me

Hi! I’m Winnona, a dedicated real estate agent with a deep love for helping people find their perfect home. As a proud Raleigh native and a graduate of Wake County Public Schools, as well as the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University, I know the Triangle area inside and out—and I’m passionate about serving the community that shaped me.

My background spans corporate, nonprofit, and state government sectors, giving me a well-rounded perspective on work and life. I bring strong problem-solving skills to every client interaction, and as a certified project manager, I thrive on keeping the home-buying process organized and as stress-free as possible. My goal is always to ensure a smooth, seamless journey from start to finish.
To me, real estate is so much more than just a transaction—it’s about helping people find a place where they truly feel at peace and at home. I’m known for my approachable style, steady guidance, and commitment to making each client feel confident and cared for every step of the way.

When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me staying active with water aerobics, cycling, or group fitness classes. I also love traveling, spending time with family and friends, volunteering in the community, and enjoying the arts through concerts, museums, and plays.

Whether you’re new to the area or a lifelong resident, I’m here to help you find not just a house—but the right home. I look forward to putting my experience to work for you.
