I know that buying or selling a home is more than a transaction — it’s deeply personal. As an Oakland resident for over two decades, I bring a unique understanding of the East Bay’s neighborhoods, schools, and complex market dynamics. My commitment to transparency and simplifying the home-buying or selling process is the cornerstone of my practice.

Whether you’re selling or buying, I combine a keen eye for design with strategic resourcefulness to help you prepare your home for sale or find the perfect place to live. My background as an operations leader sharpens my attention to detail, ensuring you’re fully prepared and confident every step of the way. I strive to remove burdens from the process and to make it enjoyable, bringing levity to what can often feel overwhelming. 

I’ve raised three children in the East Bay, enriching my connection to the community through years of PTA involvement and volunteer work with the Oakland Unified School District. At home, I live with my family, including our dog and two cats. When I’m not working, I enjoy cooking, reading, hiking, and spending time with my kids and friends.
