About Me

A Life Rooted in Northern Michigan

My family and I are lucky to call East Bay home, where we soak up everything that makes Northern Michigan special. My husband, Tim, keeps smiles bright as a dentist in Traverse City, while our two young children grow up exploring the lakes, trails, and seasons alongside our energetic Australian Shepherd, Kya (affectionately known as Kiki Wiki).

When I’m not helping clients find their perfect home, you’ll find me out in the yard, fully immersed in my obsession with peonies, or on the beach, making the most of lake life with my family. Staying active is a must—I love weight training and cardio dance classes (because let’s be honest, real estate requires stamina!). But my true passion? Cooking. I’m a serious from-scratch cook, always experimenting with fresh, local ingredients and every vegetable I can get my hands on.

From Journalism to Real Estate – A Perfect Fit

Before real estate, I earned degrees from both Michigan State University (Go Green!) and the University of Michigan (Go Blue!)—yes, I cheer for both! I have a master’s degree in Natural Resources and the Environment from UofM and dual bachelor’s degrees in Journalism and Geography from MSU. This background has given me a sharp eye for market trends, a love for storytelling (essential in marketing homes), and a deep appreciation for the land we call home.

Real estate isn’t just a career for me—it’s a passion. Whether you’re buying, selling, or just dreaming of a life Up North, I’d love to help make it happen.
