Before entering real estate, I spent five years as a middle school history and English teacher right here in Portland. This career was built on a foundation of education, beginning with a BS in Secondary Education from the University of Idaho (Go Vandals!) and followed by an MS in Curriculum from the University of Oregon (Sco' Ducks!). In the classroom, I honed a skill set in expert communication, organization, and creative problem-solving that I now apply directly to the real estate process. For me, this work is still about educating and empowering my clients every step of the way. I was drawn to real estate because of my passion for connecting with people and building meaningful relationships that last long after the transaction is complete. I also have a deep love for Portland and the unique personality of each of its many neighborhoods. I get genuine joy from sharing that local insight with others who already call Portland home, or who are eager to. As part of the Lovejoy Real Estate Team, I've found partners who share my dedication to an exceptional client experience. We leverage our collective expertise to provide unwavering guidance and support, ensuring every transaction is handled with meticulous care. Whether you are buying your first home, selling a property, or looking to invest, we are committed to achieving your unique real estate goals. When I'm not opening lockboxes, you can find me exploring Portland's coziest dive bars, rewatching anything from the Star Wars franchise, or traveling with friends and family.
