My first visit to Franklin lit a fire in me to make my daydreams come true. A few months later, my little boy and I moved to Leiper’s Fork and started a new life. Best decision ever. If you fall in love with the area like I did, I’d be thrilled to help you find your way home. And if you’re already a local and want to shake things up and try on someplace new, I’m your gal.

I’m passionate about spaces and finding a vision to create comfort and happiness in homes. In addition to the experience I have with designing interiors and house renovation, I am well versed in the emotional ride buying and selling homes is personally, as well as the logistics and heft of relocating to a brand new state. I’ve got a work ethic that is unparalleled, excellent negotiating skills and an undying devotion to loyalty and trust. My goal is to create magic with efficiency and grace during the most stressful and exciting times for clients and their families. Helping people get their fresh start is my mission.

Before starting a career in real estate, I spent 19 years in the advertising industry, first as a commercial producer, then as Executive Producer and Head of Production for various production and design companies in San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles. I traveled the world, fostered the development of producers, ran studios and always fought the good creative fight, while making great relationships with directors, artists and clients to last a lifetime. ..and made the spaces in which we worked, beautiful. Sourcing furnishings and decorating was a hobby of mine that turned into an active passion for interior design that I have since fully embraced.

Born in New York, my parents moved our family to the rolling hills of Pennsylvania, where I had a childhood with fresh air, green grass and endless stars in the night sky.. and a pet goat. After high school, I studied at the University of California, Santa Cruz and received a BA with honors for Psychology. Right after, I jumped into production. After years of living in California, visiting Franklin just once propelled me to leave my life in LA behind and move to Tennessee with my little boy. My goal was to give him the best childhood in the world with acres to run free, excellent schools and a happy and full, peaceful life for myself. And I'm so glad we did.
