Your Upstate NY Real Estate Specialist
About Me
Since 2016, I’ve had the privilege of calling Upstate New York home—a true bucolic wonderland. Before settling here, I lived in the Pacific Northwest, spending time in both Seattle and Portland. With experience on both coasts, I understand the perspectives of buyers transitioning from the city and sellers looking to make their next move.
My professional background is rooted in managing and opening high-end restaurants, an industry where success is built on trust, intuition, and exceptional service. These same principles guide my work in real estate. I pride myself on truly listening to my clients, anticipating their needs, and delivering results with integrity and expertise. In addition to my passion for client relationships, I bring 20 years of experience in marketing, strategy, and negotiation.
Beyond real estate, I have a deep understanding of home design and construction. I’ve worked as a project manager for a custom home company and was a pre-architecture student, giving me valuable insight into working with contractors, thoughtful design, and budget management. Personally, I’ve bought, renovated, and sold multiple homes, gaining firsthand experience in what it takes to transform a property into something truly special. Today, I use this knowledge to help sellers showcase their homes in the best light and to help buyers discover their dreams property.
When I’m not helping clients find their perfect home, you’ll find me exploring the natural beauty of the Hudson Valley with my partner and our children. I love discovering new hiking trails, visiting charming towns, and checking out the latest shops and restaurants in the area.
Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply looking for guidance on making the most of your home, I’d love to be part of your journey. Let’s connect!
