Buying or selling a home is more than a transaction—it's a life transition. As a real estate broker with Howard Hanna in Durham, I'm here to make that journey clear, confident, and supportive from start to finish.
I hold a Master's degree in Sociology with a specialization in Public Policy, which makes it easy for me to navigate government programs, incentives, and legal documents to ensure my clients get a fair deal. My background in training and enablement for global companies means I know how to take complex processes and make them simple, tailored, and empowering for the people I serve.
Whether you're a first-time buyer, upgrading to your next home, or planning a strategic sale, my approach is built around education, transparency, and long-term partnership. What sets me apart is the support you'll receive well beyond the closing table—from move-in checklists and trusted vendor recommendations to ongoing check-ins that ensure your home continues to grow in value.
North Carolina is a place where community thrives, and my mission is to help you not just buy a house—but build a home, wealth, and a sense of belonging.
Specialties
As the founder of The First Acre and a real estate agent with Allen Tate, I bring more than just market knowledge—I bring a mission. With a Master’s degree in Sociology and a background in public education policy, housing access, and food security, I understand how where we live shapes every part of our lives. That’s why I specialize in helping first-time buyers, sellers, and investors build stability and long-term equity, especially in communities often overlooked.
Before real estate, I spent nearly a decade leading training and onboarding programs in the tech sector. Today, I apply that same clarity and care to guide my clients through every step of the homebuying or selling process—and long after closing. My goal isn’t just to help you find a house—it’s to support your transition into homeownership with tools, vendor resources, and post-sale support designed to make you feel confident and connected.
I proudly serve clients across the Triangle and throughout North Carolina, always striving to offer a more thoughtful, informed, and people-first real estate experience.
