Realtor

Originally from New York, I bring the energy of a former fitness enthusiast, tennis player, and teaching assistant into my real estate career. Before relocating to Florida, I successfully invested in and flipped homes across New York—an experience that developed my sharp eye for market value, design potential, and negotiation strategy.

Now in my third year as a full-time Realtor®, I’ve sold over $10 million in properties and have earned recognition as a top performer in St. Johns County. I’m passionate about helping families and individuals find homes that fit their lifestyle and future goals.

As a proud mom of two athletic kids—a Florida regional champion gymnast and a Jr. NBA basketball player—I understand the importance of community, schools, and amenities when finding the right home. I live in St. Johns County with my husband of nearly 18 years and our two Rottweilers, and I remain active in the community both on and off the tennis court.

Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing, I offer deep local knowledge, strong work ethic, hustle and heart.
