Get to Know Me

Some agents count transactions. I count relationships.

For nearly 30 years, I’ve been helping buyers and sellers across Southeast Michigan make one of the most meaningful decisions of their lives — and I’ve never stopped taking that responsibility seriously. As a lifelong Oakland County resident and Associate Broker with Brookstone REALTORS®, I know this market the way you know your own neighborhood: the nuances, the neighborhoods, the moments when to push and when to hold.

My approach has always been the same: fight hard for my clients, stay honest even when it’s uncomfortable, and never mistake activity for results. You’ll get straight talk, strategic negotiating, and someone who genuinely cares how this turns out for you.

Over nearly three decades, I’ve worked across virtually every corner of residential real estate — lakefront homes, investment properties, new construction, vacant land, vacation properties, and everything in between. That breadth isn’t just a resume line. It means I’ve likely seen your situation before, and I know how to navigate it.

One pivotal season in my career tells you more about me than any credential could. When the 2008 recession brought the market to a standstill and many in the industry went idle, I saw an opportunity. God is faithful, and He has a way of placing the right opportunities and people in your path at exactly the right time. While continuing to work full-time in real estate and raising three kids, I finished my nursing degree — walking into graduation, cap and gown barely on, straight from a closing. Then, as the market began its recovery, I added midnight shifts as a labor and delivery nurse on top of rebuilding my real estate business. Life isn’t always an easy road — and honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Character and grit are refined when the road gets bumpy. That’s the version of me that shows up for every client.

No flashy promises. No high-pressure tactics. Just hard work, deep expertise, and a genuine investment in your outcome.

When I’m not working, I’m a grateful wife, a proud mom to three married adult children — all Division I student-athletes — and a Grammy to four grandbabies who have my whole heart. My downtime is filled with family, travel, and our chocolate English Lab, Peace. I understand on a deeply personal level what it means to find a place that doesn’t just check the boxes, but truly feels like home.
