I’m a Washington State licensed broker with more than 11 years of experience helping buyers and sellers navigate the dynamic markets of Snohomish and King County. Based out of the John L. Scott Everett office, I combine strong negotiation skills, deep local knowledge, and tech-forward marketing to deliver a smooth, informed experience at every step of the real estate journey. Whether I’m guiding a first-time buyer, marketing a luxury home, or advising an investor, my goal is simple: exceptional communication and full-service support from our first conversation through closing and beyond.
My business is intentionally broad so I can meet clients wherever life is taking them. I work with luxury and exceptional homes, new construction, condos and townhomes, land, vacation and second homes, as well as both first-time and repeat buyers and sellers. I’m also experienced with seniors and downsizing moves, and I understand how emotional and complex those transitions can be. Clients appreciate that I take the time to explain the process, use clear data to support pricing and strategy, and stay responsive so they never feel left in the dark.
Before real estate, I built a career as a corporate chef and in aerospace quality. That unique path taught me to blend creativity with precision: the hospitality mindset of anticipating needs and delivering memorable experiences, paired with the systems thinking, accountability, and attention to detail that aerospace demands. Today, those skills show up in the way I manage timelines, contracts, and negotiations—always protecting my clients’ best interests while keeping the process as stress-free as possible.
As a John L. Scott Presidents Gold award recipient and consistent multi-million dollar producer, I’m proud to have earned strong, five-star reviews from the people who matter most: my clients. I’m recognized as a local market specialist and stay deeply engaged with the communities I serve, including ongoing volunteer work and local involvement. I keep a close eye on trends in Snohomish and King County so I can provide timely insight on pricing, inventory, and opportunities—whether you’re buying, selling, or just starting to explore your options.
When I’m not working with clients, you’ll often find me enjoying the best of our region—hiking and getting outdoors, traveling, trying new recipes and restaurants, and spending time with family, pets, and friends. I love the character of our local areas, from summer days out at Jetty Island to strolling the Downtown Snohomish waterfront for a fun day of local history and shopping, or meeting up for a meal at favorites like El Paraiso Mexican Grill or Emory’s on Silver Lake. I’m also passionate about home design and DIY projects, the arts and live music, and staying active through sports and community volunteering.
Real estate is more than a transaction for me—it’s about relationships, advocacy, and helping people move into their next chapter with confidence. If you’re thinking about buying, selling, investing, or just have questions about the market in Snohomish or King County, reach out anytime—I’m here to help.
