“Helping you find a home that feels like you belong here.”
I didn’t come to real estate the traditional way.
I came as an artist—someone who has spent years paying attention to light, texture, mood, and the feeling of a place.
After returning to Michigan and settling along the Lake Michigan shoreline, I realized something:
people aren’t just moving here for a house—they’re searching for a different pace, a different rhythm, a different way of living.
That’s where I come in.
I help people see beyond square footage and listings.
I help them understand neighborhoods, energy, seasons—and find a home that actually fits how they want to live.
Because the right home isn’t just a transaction.
It’s a feeling.
I’m not just your real estate agent, I’m your REALTOR®!
What’s the difference?
The term REALTOR® signifies a dedication to professionalism and ethical practices in the real estate industry.
While all Realtors are licensed agents, not all agents are Realtors. Realtors must adhere to a strict Code of Ethics and standards of practice. “When representing a buyer, seller, landlord, tenant, or other client as an agent, REALTORS® pledge themselves to protect and promote the interests of their client.”
Beyond the duties of a real estate agent, a REALTOR® pledges to uphold integrity, honesty, and client interests through NAR Code of Ethics and complete ethics training every three years.
About Me
I grew up in Ann Arbor, part of a family with deep roots and generations of history in Michigan.After spending most of my adult life in the western United States, I felt a strong pull to return home. I was especially drawn to Michigan’s northwest coast and chose to put down roots in Manistee. After visiting many towns/cities along the northwest coast, Manistee felt like “home.”
I bring a unique blend of creativity, strategy, and real-world experience to my work as a REALTOR®. I’ve been an award-winning artist since high school and spent many years in nonprofit management and marketing before transitioning into real estate. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems and a Master of Science in Integrated Marketing Communications—an education that allows me to approach real estate with both analytical insight and creative vision.
These skills translate directly into how I serve my clients: thoughtful strategy, strong marketing, clear communication, and attention to detail at every stage of the process.
Having personally bought and sold multiple homes, I understand that real estate transactions can feel overwhelming. My role is to guide you with confidence, clarity, and care—so you feel supported from our first conversation to closing day.
As your REALTOR®, you can count on me to be there with you, whether you’re purchasing a new home or selling your current one. If you’re ready to begin your real estate journey, I would be honored to help you take the next step.
When you’re selling: I know how to showcase your house effectively, market and promote it so that it attracts qualified buyers and get it SOLD. Throughout the process, I’m with you every step of the way, making sure your questions are answered, all the details are handled expertly, and the entire experience is a positive one.
When you’re buying: I can introduce you to homes that meet your criteria – and notify you immediately of brand new listings. I can advise you on what to look for when viewing a home, and I can arm you with in-depth details on every property you see. When you find a home you fall in love with, I know how to negotiate effectively so you get that property, at the best possible price. In fact, nothing pleases me more than saying, “The home is yours.”
The Right Real Estate Agent for You
Whether you’re buying or selling, it’s ultimately about realizing a dream. I understand how much the decision will mean to you. In fact, that’s one of the reasons I became a real estate agent – to guide people through the process of buying or selling a home.
