Real estate and interior design have been my passions for as long as I can remember. While other kids were pinning up posters of teenage heartthrobs, I was curating vision boards with pages torn from Better Homes and Gardens magazine and Architectural Digest. That spark never faded — it grew into a career built around homes, creativity, and helping people through big life changes.
Before becoming a REALTOR, I spent 25+ years as an advertising and marketing executive, leading campaigns for some of the world’s most recognized brands. That background taught me how to understand people, tell stories that resonate, and create strategies that get results — skills I now bring directly to my clients in real estate.
But here’s what really drives me: helping people find home in the truest sense. Whether it’s a senior downsizing after decades, a family navigating a significant life transition, or a couple chasing their off-grid homestead dream, I thrive on guiding clients through the big decisions with empathy, clarity, and creativity.
I chose Better Homes and Gardens Realty Partners for the Santel Home Team because their values mirror mine — timeless, trusted, and rooted in lifestyle. Their tools, training, and data give me an edge, and when combined with my eye for design and marketing expertise, it means my clients get both strategy and style on their side.
When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me exploring Oregon’s trails, beaches, and forests with my husband and our two beloved beagles, Ted and Rocky. We are Pacific Northwest transplants ourselves, so I understand firsthand the mix of excitement, stress, and possibility that comes with making a big move.
I work in Portland and throughout Oregon — from Mt. Hood to Astoria to Tillamook. Wherever your journey is taking you, I’d love to help you not just find a home, but the right home for your next chapter!
