Santa Cruz has more than most people realize. Small beach towns, natural beauty, a relaxed lifestyle, culture and diversity - all within commute distance to the Bay Area. Having grown up in upstate New York, and experienced life on both coasts, there is no place I would rather be than Santa Cruz.

I bring my diverse background to an already diverse area. I graduated from Cornell University with a degree in Hotel Management. (My love for unconventional towns began in Ithaca New York while in college.) I began my career with the Four Seasons Hotel Atlanta, where I learned the value of providing exceptional service and anticipating client’s needs. When my family relocated to the Bay Area, I joined Archstone to oversee the overall operation of an apartment community in Dublin. After we moved to Charlotte North Carolina, I decided to shift my career to real estate. It has been a fantastic experience, and I am honored that my sales accomplishments earned me the recognition of my peers.

Buying or selling a home is a significant event. My job is to make the process as seamless and stress free as possible. I value regular communication and am compulsively organized. One size does not fit all in real estate, thus I feel it is important to adjust to the needs of my individual clients. I truly care for my clients and put their interest first. Both in personal and professional life, I strive to treat others as I would want to be treated.
