Selling or buying a home often tugs at emotions. A home is where memories are made, families find comfort.
This is my childhood home. My parents built this house 49 years ago. It’s the only home I knew growing up and have had the comfort to return to on every visit back home.
I met my lifelong friends in this neighborhood, each lived one house away on either side of us. I took my first steps in the family room. I learned to ride a bike in the driveway. I had my first kiss on the front porch. I cried over my first heartbreak in my bedroom. My sister took me to high school my Freshman year with the top off of her jeep just to mess up my hair. I returned home for a few months after college until I could get on my feet. I have spent nearly every Christmas holiday in this home.
Today, my parents close a chapter and start a new one. As I grapple with my own emotions related to this change I am thankful for everything this home has provided over the years and wish them the very best on their move.

I’m a Florida native, yet I’ve always had Carolina in my blood. As a kid, my family would camp in the Carolinas every summer. When I was old enough, I went to sleep-away camp in North Carolina and later became a camp counselor, teaching horseback riding. Naturally, I went to school in NC and eventually settled in Charlotte in 1995.
After spending more than twenty years in the corporate world of financial services, I enthusiastically turned my focus toward a career in real estate. I have vast business experience planning & organizing, problem solving, process management, leading and holding people accountable to deliver on a timeline and budget, and identifying & mitigating risks before they turn into problems.
Being a REALTOR® allows me to build relationships with my clients so I can get to know their needs, likes and style. Buying or selling a home is a very stressful process. Although you think you are prepared, you may be surprised at the roller coaster of emotions you can experience in this important step in your life. It is my mission reduce this stress, make the process transparent and keep you informed every step of the way. My satisfaction comes from working to facilitate a smooth transaction and helping all kinds of individuals and families through the home buying & selling process.
When I’m not working, I love spending time with my daughter and our dogs both at home and around the community. I enjoy wine and appetizers with friends on a patio at local area restaurants and occasional trips to the beach or mountains. I am also passionate about supporting families of micro-preemies, kids who require extra support as well as advocating for Cerebral Palsy awareness and the true meaning of inclusion.
