About me

Purchasing a home is one of life's most significant decisions, so it's important to have the right professionals by your side. Let me be one of them! I am passionate about guiding you through the home buying and selling process, ensuring you feel informed, comfortable, and stress-free every step of the way.

I bring several years of real estate experience and a strong track record of successfully guiding clients through both buy-side and sell-side transactions across the Capital Region. I’ve helped many individuals and families navigate the market with confidence, whether they’re purchasing their first home, upgrading, downsizing, or preparing their property for sale. In addition to real estate, I have over 14 years of experience in Property, Casualty, Life, and Health insurance, along with a decade of building and leading a global health and wellness business. This diverse background gives me a well-rounded holistic perspective on risk management, negotiation, and long-term financial planning—skills that help my clients make confident real estate decisions.

Beyond my professional work, I’m deeply committed to serving my community and supporting local organizations. I currently serve as President-Elect of the Women's Council of Realtors Capital Region, as well as President of the BH-BL High School Spartan Baseball Booster Club. I’m also an active participant and fundraiser for Blood Cancer United’s Big Climb, Dine Out for Life, and the Morning of Kindness, in addition to supporting various local events and charitable initiatives. Community involvement has always been an important part of my life and allows me to stay connected to the people and neighborhoods I serve.

With family from both the North and South of it, I grew up and lived in Troy, later attended college in NYC, and even spent a semester abroad in Italy. After living in Colonie for over 15 years, my husband and I moved with our two young boys to the Burnt Hills/Ballston Lake community in 2019. Go Spartans!

Whether helping you find your dream home or sell your current one, my deep connections with local business owners and professionals, along with my knowledge of the Capital District’s neighborhoods, provide my clients with the resources, reputation, and expertise needed to succeed in today’s competitive market.
