As a native Floridian, I have deep roots in the Sunshine State. I grew up in Bradenton and have proudly called St. Petersburg home since 2013. Its vibrant neighborhoods, culture, and sense of community inspired me to build my real estate career here.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Anthropology and a Master’s degree in Library and Information Science from the University of South Florida. My background sharpened my research skills, attention to detail, and ability to navigate complex decisions with clarity.
Before real estate, I spent over 15 years in the senior living industry, serving in roles such as Hospitality, Marketing, Wellness Director, and Assisted Living Administrator. This experience shaped my client-first approach and led me to become a SENIOR REAL ESTATE SPECIALIST®, with a deep understanding of the unique needs of seniors and their families.
I am known for being proactive, attentive, and positive, with a strong focus on communication and trust. Whether you are buying, selling, investing, or downsizing, I provide personalized guidance every step of the way.
I look forward to helping you achieve your real estate goals. Let’s get started.
