Community Involvement
How I Serve the Community of Kirkland As a Lifestyle Realtor(R) and TV Host on The American Dream TV, I'm passionate about showcasing and uplifting the Kirkland community. I highlight local businesses, share the stories that make our city special, and help homeowners achieve top value through expert marketing, design, and presentation. Whether selling a luxury waterfront home or helping a family settle into the perfect neighborhood, my mission is to elevate the beauty, connection, and value of Kirkland--one home at a time.
HOBBIES/INTEREST
Outside of real estate, I love living the lifestyle I sell--enjoying quiet luxury moments around Kirkland and the Eastside. You'll often find me exploring local coffee shops, walking my dog Indie along the waterfront, or spending time in nature to recharge. I'm passionate about interior design, wellness, travel, and fitness, and I find inspiration in beautiful spaces and meaningful connections. Whether hosting friends for a cozy dinner or discovering new places with my daughter, I believe in living fully and savoring life's simple, elegant moments.
FAMILY
I'm a proud mom of four kids, engaged to my wonderful fiance who has 2 more kids, and happily outnumbered by our mini-Aussie, Indy--who thinks every Amazon box is his to open. We love spending time outdoors, discovering local spots around the Eastside, and creating memories together. We are a modern day "brady bunch". My family keeps me grounded, inspired, and reminds me daily why home truly matters.

FAQ
Buying a home in today’s market requires strategy and preparation. My best advice is to get pre-approved early, understand your financial comfort zone, and work with an agent who knows how to identify opportunities before they hit the market. I often connect my buyers with off-market or pre-listed homes through my network, which gives them a competitive edge. Once we find the right home, I structure the offer to highlight strength, certainty, and ease for the seller—helping my clients win in multiple-offer situations.
Price it right and present it beautifully. Homes that are properly positioned from day one sell faster and for more money. I use my 5-Star Selling Plan, which includes professional cleaning, staging, inspection, cinematic video, and targeted digital marketing—all at no upfront cost to the seller. My approach is simple: I take the financial risk of marketing, and you keep control. Together, we make your home irresistible to buyers and command top dollar in any market.
I work with a wide range of clients—luxury homeowners, builders, downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers—throughout the Pacific Northwest. My clients value expertise, design, and discretion. Many are busy professionals or families who want a seamless, elevated experience. I also partner with builders and homeowners through Revive. Renew. Remodel. brand to renovate homes before listing for maximum return on investment.
One of my favorite recent transactions was a luxury listing near Lake Sammamish. The sellers had tried to sell before without success. We stepped in, refreshed the design, added staging, and launched a new marketing campaign with lifestyle video storytelling. Within two weeks, we had multiple offers and sold above asking price. It was a perfect example of how strategic presentation and marketing can completely transform results.
Before real estate, I managed a multi-million-dollar retail business and specialized in marketing and sales strategy. I transitioned into real estate to combine my love for design, people, and negotiation. Over the years, I’ve built a business that blends media exposure, luxury marketing, and design expertise, allowing me to deliver not just transactions—but exceptional experiences.
Yes. I’m a Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist (CLHMS) with the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing, which recognizes top agents who meet rigorous performance standards in the luxury sector. I’m also a national TV host on The American Dream TV, an Emmy-nominated lifestyle show highlighting communities and exceptional homes across the country. This platform provides my listings with exposure across HGTV, The Travel Channel, and streaming networks—offering unparalleled visibility for my clients’ properties.
