BECAUSE WHO YOU MOVE WITH MATTERS.
About MeSmart strategy. Real connection. Deep roots.
As a third-generation Nevada County native, real estate has always been personal. I became a licensed Realtor at 19 and was voted Rookie of the Year. By age 20 I was a Top Realtor, homeowner, and mother.
For more than 25 years, I’ve been immersed in every side of real estate—representing clients and personally investing in everything from single-family homes and multi-units to Airbnb’s, flips and 30+ acre properties. I know the highs, lows, and lessons that come with each decision because I’ve lived them as a single mom—and that perspective helps me guide my clients with insight and strategy that goes far beyond the transaction.
Along the way, I earned a Bachelor’s in Community Development and a Master’s Degree and founded a national nonprofit now serving youth across multiple states, and built a career centered on connection, clarity, and impact.
Whether you’re navigating a major life shift, exploring your first investment, or finding your forever home, I’ll help you move forward with confidence—and make sure the process feels seamless and supported from start to finish.
Let’s unlock what’s next, together.

Escrow for Good
When you buy or sell with me, you’re also helping fund transformation.
I donate 10% of my commission from every transaction to The 99 Fund. The 99 Fund is a community foundation I launched to “go after the one”. When you buy or sell a home with me, you’re also investing in Nevada County’s vulnerable youth, first responders, veterans, and protective breed dogs.
