About Me

I love to travel! From Puerto Rico in my youth, to studying in England, to backpacking through Italy, to a dream of seeing all the National Parks. I love to research locations,  plan detailed itineraries, and make wonderful memories.

Meeting my husband and taking him and my sweet kiddos with me have made the BEST trips, and taught me a lot about juggling various needs while creatively finding solutions when the plan doesn’t meet reality.

These skills have helped me tremendously as I have begun to get more involved with Real Estate. My in-laws have taught me over the past decade about the importance of real estate in making smart financial decisions. My husband and I bought our first home with their advice in 2021. We bought our second in 2024, and have learned so much with each experience.

Real Estate is rarely a poor investment, and I’ve become passionate about helping clients navigate the decision to buy or sell by providing the nitty gritty details with clarity and supporting their needs. I would be honored to help you plan and take one of the most fun and rewarding trips--from the decision to the front door!
