Meet Your Fav Local Real Estate Pro:

Local Expertise. Marketing Strategy. High-Stakes Hustle.

Most people see a real estate transaction as a series of forms and signatures. I see it as a high-stakes puzzle that requires local knowledge, sharp marketing, and a calm head in the middle of a whirlwind.

Born and raised in Oak Ridge, now residing in Greensboro, I am a true Triad native. I chose this industry because I am driven by a genuine love for helping people reach their biggest milestones. By blending my mission to help others with a lifelong eye for design and architecture, I’m able to uncover the hidden potential in every property I walk through.

The Experience That Sets Me Apart

I’m not your average new agent. I’ve spent my career in fast-paced industries where "pressure" was the daily special. With a B.S. in Marketing from UNCG, I don't just list homes; I strategically position them to stand out in a crowded market.

• The Problem Solver: I stepped into real estate because I wanted a role defined by challenges. I thrive on the "puzzle" of a complex deal.

• Logistics & Business Development: I understand the moving parts of a transaction and how to get things from point A to point B without a hitch.

• High-End Management: Having managed staff in the luxury restaurant and retail worlds, I’m used to molding my approach to different situations. I’m a high-level communicator who keeps everyone focused on the goal.

• The "Chaos" Factor: While others might find real estate stressful, I thrive in it. I’m obsessed with the details and I’m at my best during the chaos.

Why Work With Me?

I’m bold, outgoing, and direct. I believe in clear communication and an unwavering commitment to my clients. Whether you are a first-time buyer looking for a home with great "bones" or a seller looking for a modern marketing edge, you’re getting a partner who treats your goals with the same intensity I’ve brought to every leadership role I’ve held.

Beyond the Closing Table

When I’m not scouring the market for the perfect home, you’ll find me leaning into my "local guru" status. I’m a regular at the Triad’s best coffee shops and hidden-gem restaurants—if you need a recommendation, just ask!

I enjoy beginning and ending my days volunteer at HORSEPOWER Therapeutic Learning Center when my schedule allows. I don't have the words to say about how wonderful this place is. Want to learn more about them or volunteering? Please don't hesitate to reach out and ask!!

At home, I’m usually experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen or getting lost in a good book. But most importantly, I spend my downtime exploring our local hiking trails and parks with my rescue mix, Ronan, who keeps me just as busy as my clients do.
