My journey to becoming the Realtor I am today has been shaped by several challenges and experiences. After graduating Summa Cum Laude from Penn State University in 2000, I began my career at Disney (heading south!), followed by a move to Texas on 9/12/2001 to join Hyatt Hotels & Resorts as a convention sales manager. Despite the 9/11 effect of the hospitality industry, my dedication and work ethic secured my position.

Two years later, I earned a promotion to senior sales manager at the Hyatt Gainey Ranch in Scottsdale, AZ. In 2005, I took a bold leap and launched my real estate career in Phoenix. As the housing market began to decline in 2006, I adapted by specializing in short sales, achieving success in a “challenging” environment. These experiences taught me to embrace challenges as opportunities for growth.

In 2012, my family relocated to Raleigh, NC, for my husband's career, and I earned my NC real estate license. By 2019, I became the top listing agent at my firm and, in 2020, achieved the distinction of being the second-highest sales production agent at Raleigh Cary Realty. Joining eXp Realty in 2021 was a game-changer, providing me with access to premier agents, education opportunities, and the chance to build a small team and my brand, Luxury Homes Triangle. By 2024, I was honored as the top-producing eXp agent in Wake Forest and ranked #12 in North Carolina, with personal sales exceeding $10 million. Additionally, I was invited to join eXp’s exclusive Luxury Division, offering unparalleled marketing opportunities and training.

I assist clients across all price points throughout the Triangle region, with specialized expertise in the luxury custom home market. My experience spans representation of both buyers and sellers, as well as the personal experience of building my own custom home in Wake Forest. Whether you're buying, selling, or building, I bring deep market knowledge and a personalized approach to every transaction.

Outside of real estate, I am blessed by support of my husband and our two boys, Braden (born in 2012) and Bryce (born in 2014), and our beloved rescue dog, Zoe, a lab/boxer mix who balances the energy in our home! My hobbies include bible study, historical fiction, fitness, sports (both playing and watching), and travel. I'm also passionate about helping children, volunteering in my church's nursery and special needs ministry, and supporting charitable organizations dedicated to kids in need.

Real estate is not just my career—it’s my passion. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
