My Story!
Professional info
Simply put - I ADORE what I do! Most of my family are (or have been) in the real estate profession for as long as I can remember.
I studied Finance in college, but a trip to Europe lead me down a path of marketing, branding, strategy, and project management for multi-million dollar web design and marketing projects.
The entrepreneurship bug bit in San Francisco - where I opened a successful women’s clothing boutique - followed by a stationery boutique here in Portland.
Over 10 years ago, my family sold our house and bought a new one. I absolutely loved the process. Looking at houses was pure joy. I created my own CMA, designed my own tours, and aced negotiations. This is when I knew it was time to change careers. After a circuitous path, I was finally coming back to my roots: I got my Real Estate License.
Your home plays an important role in your joy for life - just like any person who is around you all the time. The space should be filled with the things you love - whether it's bright light, vintage details, or a giant kitchen. I help clients recognize what is important to them and then seek out a home that best matches those qualities. For sellers, I work hard to highlight those attributes which make the home irresistible to buyers.
I’m proud to work at Think Real Estate surrounded by collaborative, smart and engaging people. My decades of managing complex projects and developing marketing strategies, coupled with my focus on superior customer service + genuine love of great design make me a great realtor for you!
