“Communication & Care you can depend on, every step of the way home!”

As your local Real Estate expert, I understand there is no other experience quite like buying/selling a home. Studies have shown that moving is among the Top 3 most impactful and stressful life events a person will face. With that said, it’s extremely important to find someone who can guide you through the process with the necessary knowledge and reliable communication you can depend on.

Originally from South Western Virginia in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains, I grew up with a strong sense of community in my small country town. I now reside in the historic village of Harmony, PA with my son Isaac, our dog Charlie and two cats, George & Violet. I love this area and often feel like I never left home as it has the same small town feel with easy accessibility to the vibrant city of Pittsburgh!

I graduated from Point Park University with a bachelor degree in Sports, Arts & Entertainment Management and have worked in Customer Service for 10+ years, most recently as the Office Manager for a local survival-based swim program. I take pride in my ability to communicate in a clear, effective way, making sure my clients always feel heard and respected.

My decision to become a Real Estate Agent came after purchasing my very first home through Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. That experience was eye-opening and drove my desire to go forward helping others navigate their way through the same process! As a home buyer, it was important to me that I felt educated each step along the way and had an open line of communication to the very end and beyond closing. This is what I strive to offer my clients each and every time!

In my free time, you can find me enjoying the outdoors taking Charlie for a walk or catching a concert with my son at one of the many amazing venues Pittsburgh has to offer! My love of music and art is what inspired me to pursue the SAEM program at Point Park and is something I am grateful to share with those around me.

Whenever you’re ready, you can reach me at 412.736.3717 via text/call! I look forward to joining you on your journey to finding your first home, your home for now, or your forever home.
