With a strong business background, a passion for real estate, and a genuine appreciation for what makes a house feel like home, I bring a unique perspective to my work as a real estate sales agent.

My interest in real estate began in college when I worked for a real estate appraiser. I went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Gwynedd Mercy University in 1993 and an MBA from DeSales University in 1999. Later, I earned my Pennsylvania K–6 Elementary Teaching Certification in 2013 and a master's in education from Gwynedd Mercy University in 2019. These experiences sharpened my communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills, and I bring those strengths to every client I work with.

My journey as a property owner began in 2007, when my husband and I bought our first vacation home in Sea Isle City, New Jersey. I quickly discovered how rewarding it is to give families a clean, comfortable, well-appointed place to vacation and make lasting memories.

In 2011, a memorable two-week family vacation on Deep Creek Lake drew me to the area, and I began exploring the idea of owning a home here. That dream came true in 2016, when we bought our first lake property. Today we own properties in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, and Florida, and I personally manage our vacation rentals in New Jersey and Florida. That hands-on experience has taught me what it takes to maintain a home and to give guests and owners an exceptional experience.

My husband and I married in 1997 and have raised three wonderful children together. Family life has shown me that real estate is about far more than buying or selling a house. It’s about building memories, starting new chapters, and investing in your future.

Whether you’re buying a home, selling a property, searching for a vacation retreat, or exploring real estate as an investment, I’ll bring my business experience, attention to detail, and firsthand knowledge of owning and managing property to make the process informed, enjoyable, and rewarding. After all, finding the right property isn’t just about finding a place to live. It’s about finding a place to call home.
