About Me
As non-native to North Carolina, I am excited to help others find their dream homes in this wonderful state that I chose to settle down in. After 14 years in California, I was drawn to the Lake Norman area for its recreational offerings and proximity to Charlotte Metro, and now call Huntersville my home. Being raised in Jacksonville, FL and spending summers in Virginia with my grandmother, I have a deep love for the South and its sense of community, and am excited to be back!
Before transitioning into real estate, I spent 15 years working in Information Systems for Higher Education where I utilized my attention to detail, analytical skills, ability to communicate clearly, and negotiating powers to implement over a dozen systems for my institution. Over time, I developed a strong passion for real estate that originated from my time as a leasing agent in college. I eventually became a compulsive Zillow-er and followed market trends in the various areas I lived and visited. This curiosity led me to pursue my calling in real estate, where I could combine my love for the industry with my desire to help others find their perfect home.
When I’m not assisting clients, you’ll find my husband and I working on renovating our fixer-upper, enjoying the outdoors with our dogs, playing darts or cornhole, or volunteering in waterway cleanups with CharMeck Stormwater Services. We love exploring the greenways, paddleboarding, and hiking, and I bring that same love for exploration and dedication to every real estate transaction.
