About

How I Got Here

I grew up in Colorado and lived in Southern California, Washington State, and Georgia before eventually finding my way to Pennsylvania. Looking back, I can honestly say Hershey is where I was meant to land.

My path to real estate wasn't exactly a straight one, but it makes perfect sense to me now.

An Unexpected Path to Real Estate

Before becoming a Realtor, I spent more than 30 years working in dentistry and healthcare, including graduate medical education at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. I also earned my master's degree in education from Penn State University during my healthcare career.

I've also always loved houses. With a degree in interior design, I'm naturally drawn to the details that make a home beautiful, functional, and personal. I love a beautifully finished home, but I enjoy seeing the potential in a space just as much.

Real estate brought those interests together. I get to help people through important transitions while spending my days immersed in homes, design, construction, and the communities I love. Even on the challenging days, I feel fortunate to do something I genuinely enjoy.

Hershey Is Home

My family and I have called Derry Township home for well over a decade. Two of my children graduated from Hershey High School, and now my granddaughter is a student there too. My husband works for PSEA, and we've built our lives and friendships here.

When I talk about Hershey, I'm not just talking about a real estate market. It's home for me too.

Outside of real estate, you'll usually find me spending time with my family, working on some kind of house or design project, or surrounded by our slightly ridiculous collection of animals.

What You Can Expect from Me

  1. I'll Give You My Honest Perspective

    I listen carefully to understand what's important to you, and I'll always be honest about what I see. My job isn't to tell you what you want to hear. It's to help you understand your options, recognize potential concerns, and make decisions with the information you need.

  2. I'll Stay Involved

    Real estate involves a lot of moving parts, and I don't believe my job ends with writing a contract. I stay engaged, coordinate with the people involved, and help you navigate the details and unexpected challenges along the way.

  3. I Don't Give Up Easily

    Some transactions are straightforward. Others require a little more creativity, persistence, and problem-solving. When things get complicated, I dig in, ask questions, bring in the right experts, and keep working to find a solution.

For me, real estate is about the people who trust me to help them get where they want to go.
