REALTOR® | BROKER

Rooted in community and grounded in service, I bring local insight, calm guidance, and a personal touch to every move.

I’ve called this area home for more than three decades, and in that time I’ve come to know not just the geography but the heart of the community. I love the lifestyle Western North Carolina offers, the natural beauty, creative energy, and sense of belonging, and I enjoy helping others discover that for themselves.

I believe buying or selling a home is more than a transaction; it’s a life chapter. I’m known for building strong client relationships, paying attention to the details, and communicating with honesty. My goal is for every client to feel informed, supported, and confident. In negotiations, I bring a steady hand and clear advocacy to help achieve the best outcome.

Before real estate, I was a studio potter. Running a one-person operation taught me to wear many hats, juggle details, and stay creative under pressure. I bring that same perspective to real estate, helping clients see not only what a home is but also what it could become.

Community involvement is important to me. I volunteer with local nonprofits and appreciate showing up in ways that make a difference.

Outside of work, I enjoy trying new recipes, catching live music and theater, cooking and grilling for friends and family, and of course, “puppy play time” in our backyard. I also love being outdoors - camping, canoeing, kayaking, or riding the greenway.

Whether you’re making a big move or simply exploring your next chapter, I’d love to share my local insight and help guide you home.
