I served the public for a decade as a Legislative Assistant before I made a career change back to the housing industry as a realtor, where my roots and passion for helping people with homes began.

My mission as a realtor is to empower my clients to navigate the real estate market by providing knowledge and guidance that is relevant, clear, and comprehensive.
