Originally from Northern California, my journey brought me to New York City in 1999, and then the allure of the Catskills beckoned me to the Hudson Valley in 2012. Having lived and worked here for over a decade, I know this area intimately, from the charming back roads and hidden gems to the nuances of each town's real estate market.

Before earning my real estate license in 2016, my professional path was as diverse as the landscapes I now serve. I've worn many hats throughout including hospitality, executive administration, theater, and customer service. This wide range has shaped me into a skilled communicator and negotiator who genuinely listens and adapts to each client's unique needs. I've built my career not through paid advertising, but through relationships and reputation.

For the majority of my career I've been proud to be recognized as a top producer both locally and across the broader Hudson Valley and Catskills MLS, ranking in the top 25 agents region-wide in 2025. I'm also an Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR), a designation that reflects my dedication to providing the highest level of advocacy and expertise to the buyers I work with.

I've had the privilege of working with an incredibly wide range of clients, from first time home buyers taking that exciting leap, to luxury buyers seeking something truly special, to developers, builders, investors, and those searching for the perfect piece of land. Whatever your real estate goals look like, I bring the same level of care, attention, and commitment to every transaction. Real estate rarely goes exactly as planned, and creative problem solving is truly at the heart of how I work. My clients often tell me that having a calm, steady presence in their corner made all the difference.

When I'm not working with clients, you'll find me exploring local restaurants, farmers markets, craft breweries, and cideries, soaking up the incredible live music and arts scene this area has to offer, or hitting the open road on a spontaneous road trip through this glorious region. You might even catch me up on stage singing my heart out. I'm also a proud dog mom and will never turn down the chance to talk about my pups or yours!

If you're ready to buy, sell, or simply start exploring what's possible in the Hudson Valley or Catskills, I'd love to be your guide. And if you just have a "dumb" question? Call me anyway.
