Distinctions

I always knew real estate would be part of my story. After 18 successful years in corporate fashion design, I finally made the leap into an industry I’ve stalked from the sidelines for as long as I can remember. My background in design gives me a unique edge in real estate: I have a sharp eye for interior styling and staging homes, and I can instantly spot a floor plan’s potential. It’s this obsession with homes and design that fuels my passion for helping others with their real estate needs.

Professionally, I’m known for my high energy, thoroughness, and ability to stay a step ahead in every transaction. I pride myself on creating an experience that’s not only seamless but enjoyable, especially during the stressful moments. My goal is always to deliver unparalleled service, making the process straightforward and even fun for my clients. At the heart of my work is my passion for helping people list and market a home that no longer suits them, or to find a new home that better fits their evolving needs.

When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me outside: running, golfing, hiking, or strolling through my neighborhood in West Asheville. I love trivia, antique malls, and laughing until I cry. In the community, I am a member of the LPGA Amateur League, the Children's Well-Being League, and I'm a coach at Girls on the Run.

I’m originally from a dirt road in rural Ohio, but I’ve since lived across the U.S. in NYC, Los Angeles, Boston, and of course Asheville. Travel continues to shape me, with favorite spots like Krakow, Istanbul, and Hanoi constantly inspiring me. Through it all, I stay true to myself, blending my love for design, adventure, and connection into everything I do, and I'd love to be your real estate agent of choice!

So let me ask you: "Are you in the right home?"
