My dad, a Charleston native, always said that once you leave the Lowcountry, you spend your life trying to get back. He was right. Though I grew up in the D.C. area, summers in Charleston—riding bikes downtown, shagging, shrimping, and bouncing on a joggling board—left a mark. I later attended the College of Charleston (Go Cougs!), and 25+ years later, I’m still here. Real estate is more than buying and selling homes—it’s about changing lives. I’m a problem solver, tough negotiator, and loyal advocate. Whether you're working with a shoestring budget or caviar dreams, my goal is the same: help you achieve yours. I’m proud to be a Realtor of Distinction (top 10% in the Charleston MLS), and even prouder to be a wife, mom of two teenage girls, community volunteer, and enthusiastic supporter of all things local—from theater to church to cheering on my family.
