After attending the University of Missouri-Columbia, I spent 20 years in Tucson, AZ where I explored my passion for food by owning and operating my own cafe and catering business. Real estate beckoned and I discovered my love of historic homes; purchasing and renovating two beautiful properties in Tucson. In 2009 I moved to Washington, D.C. where I honed my customer service skills working with one of the metro areas top producing real estate teams. During this time, I would often visit friends and family in western Massachusetts and fell in love with the beauty and bounty of the area. Now I'm proud and happy to be in a place that truly feels like home. As an associate broker, I feel that one of my greatest strengths is my love of the real estate contract. Yes, I said it...I love contracts! I see myself as your real estate concierge...you get to fall in love with the house that you will call home and it's my job to help you navigate and negotiate your way through the process; making it as easy and enjoyable as possible. My attention to detail and a great sense of perspective go a long way in creating a smooth experience
