I strive to maintain a calm and peaceful presence during the exciting but often stressful process of home-buying or selling. Pairing my knowledge and thorough work ethic with a helpful and patient demeanor, I guide clients through every step by offering reassurance and perspective. I believe developing a strong rapport and trust with everyone I work with is the key to a successful transaction — and in business in general. To me, this business is about helping and educating others. Your priorities are my priorities.

Family, fun, and mutual respect are some of my core values. In my personal life, you’ll find me spending time with my daughter, partner, and senior dog Sierra. I have recently developed a passion for pole dancing, and I am strong supporter and member of the LGBTQIA+ community and I love local businesses. My favorite color is TEAL so I am playfully called the "TEALtor" by my peers. I can often be found out and about in the Burlington and Barre communities, sometimes on my dual sport motorcycle!

I work with buyers and sellers, and have helped over 150 families successfully move from or to a new home. I am very involved with the local board of REALTORS; I had the honor of being President of the Northwest Vermont Realtor Association for 2024. 2025 will be my 8th year on the board, and I look forward to getting involved in other boards and committees. I am humbled to have received the International Diamond Society award in 2024, placing me among the top 7% of Coldwell Banker agents worldwide. Other accolades include nominations for Best Real Estate Agent in the Seven Daysies awards, and the Rising Star Award from Vermont Business Magazine in 2018.

My background in Interior Design has instilled in me a standard of quality and professionalism, along with a genuine love for houses. My creative background manifests itself in various ways as a REALTOR, and I am honored to help make my clients' experiences great.

I spent my formative years in Hardwick, Vermont. My love for rural small towns and big cities alike allows me to share in my clients’ enthusiasm during the house-hunting process—whether exploring downtown properties or secluded mountain retreats.
