I know what you are going through. Really, I do. I’ve  been a first-time home buyer on a small budget. I’ve been a seller who needed a return on that investment. And, the last time around, I was someone searching for her dream home – a bungalow in Laurelhurst where my son can climb trees at the park while my husband and I enjoy a picnic dinner.

Life isn’t without challenges, of course, but that can mean new opportunities and experiences as well. At age four, we learned that our kiddo is autistic and so sometimes that means navigating IEP meetings and advocacy along with playdates and passion projects. It also means seeing the Sandy River through totally different eyes, spending hours watching him skate at Commonwealth Skatepark, scanning the aisles of Powell’s for the latest Minecraft guidebook, and connecting with a neurodiverse community that is strong and supportive. Most days we feel grateful that we get to call this awesomely inclusive city our home.

More than anything, I want to help families and individuals – especially those with unique challenges and specific needs – find the right home with the right resources for their lives. Seeking out the perfect home and community and ensuring a smooth transition for that next step is what truly calls me to serve. I understand what the myriad of Portland neighborhoods have to offer and how they all contribute to making this a unique and wonderful place to live.

I am also committed to creating a more inclusive Portland. As your realtor, I am often the person who puts you in contact with other professionals to help us get the job done – inspectors, lenders, contractors—and my list of vetted recommended contacts will always include a diverse group of individuals that reflect the people of Portland – businesses owned and operated by women, BIPOC, LGBTQ, neurodivergent folks and people experiencing disabilities.

Before my career in real estate I was an English teacher for ten years, and I’ve been a parent for nine. That experience transfers into clean writing and incredible patience – things that come in handy when composing an offer and negotiating terms in a competitive market. It also means that I am an education-first kind of agent and I love answering your questions and explaining the intricacies of the process so you feel more informed when making those big decisions.

Wondering where your perfect place is in Portland? Let’s work together and find out.
