Q: What does your business do or provide to the community?

I help clients navigate the buying and selling of real estate with clarity, strategy, and steady guidance backed by more than 20 years of experience. My focus is on creating a thoughtful, well-managed experience around their homes from our first conversation through closing, so every step feels informed and supported.

Q: What inspired you to start your business or enter your field?

I was inspired to get into real estate by the way homes tell stories. Growing up in Lexington, Kentucky, I was surrounded by beautiful historic properties filled with character and history, and I developed an early appreciation for both timeless architecture and the excitement of new construction taking shape.

Before transitioning into real estate, I spent part of my career in public education, where I witnessed firsthand the strength of communities and the bonds families build within their neighborhoods and homes. Seeing how deeply a sense of place impacts families ultimately inspired me to make the move into real estate. Today, what continues to motivate me is helping clients find not just a house, but the setting where their lives and memories will unfold.

Q: What is your favorite part about being a woman in business in Brookhaven and surrounding areas?

My favorite part of being a woman in business in Brookhaven is getting to grow alongside a city that is still defining itself. Since its incorporation in 2012, I’ve watched firsthand the momentum, the thoughtful development, and the way community events—especially the annual Brookhaven Cherry Blossom Festival—bring families together to create meaningful memories.

As a member of the Brookhaven Chamber of Commerce, I’ve built friendships and professional relationships I likely wouldn’t have formed otherwise, and that spirit of collaboration is incredibly energizing. Brookhaven’s neighborhoods have evolved in such a positive way, and its proximity to Buckhead—along with convenient access to major highways—makes it a compelling place to live and work. Being part of that growth, and helping others see the opportunity here, is both exciting and deeply rewarding.
