I have always had a keen interest in real estate and architecture since I was young. I was always that person who, while on vacation, would wander off for hours to photograph unique and beautiful buildings and homes. Whether in New Orleans, London, Chicago, or Florence, Italy, my passion for real estate has always been strong.
After purchasing a home in Italy with an agent, the experience was problematic. So when it came time to sell, I decided to handle the process myself. Many friends warned it could take years—even with an agent—but I wasn’t deterred. The sale went swiftly and smoothly, and the seed was planted: a career in real estate was in my future.
After many trips to visit family in Raleigh, I fell in love with the area and eventually moved here with my daughter to make it our home.
Following years of commuting from Raleigh to California for work, I earned my North Carolina real estate broker’s license and began helping clients buy and sell homes. Serving families and being their guiding light through such a major investment is an honor I do not take lightly. My goal is always to make the journey a smooth and enjoyable one.
Recognizing the value of a diversified portfolio, I expanded into commercial real estate—helping clients leverage both residential and commercial assets to build long-term wealth.
Partnering with LPT Realty gives me the flexibility I value, and I truly love this career. The best part is connecting with people and helping turn their dreams into reality. The thrill of calling a client to say their offer was accepted is one of the most rewarding parts of this business.
