About

Providing thoughtful, personalized assistance that brings peace of mind and comfort as you move into your next chapter.

I'm a Realtor® and Senior Living Consultant serving Carroll County, Frederick County, Howard County, and Montgomery County, Maryland. I specialize in helping buyers, sellers, seniors, and adult children navigate important life transitions with strategy, organization, and compassion.

My career has always centered on service. I began volunteering in high school with a civic organization and local fire department, later serving as a firefighter, EMT-B, and IV-Tech in leadership roles. Professionally, I advanced from administrative leadership positions into mission-driven roles supporting adoptive families, oncology patients navigating insurance and funding challenges, and ultimately families making senior living decisions.

As a divorced single mother who personally experienced significant life transitions, and a daughter who has been through the downsizing and relocating process with parents, I understand the financial, logistical, and emotional complexity that often accompanies buying, selling, downsizing, or relocating.

Today, I combine real-world experience with market knowledge to guide clients through:
• First-time home purchases
• Home sales and strategic marketing
• Downsizing and right-sizing
• Senior home transitions
• Senior living placement guidance

My mission remains constant: providing thoughtful, personalized assistance that brings peace of mind and comfort while helping clients navigate life’s major milestones and transitions.

If you are buying or selling in Central Maryland — or helping a loved one through a housing or care transition — I'm committed to making the process personalized, clear, steady, and well-managed from beginning to end.
