More than 20 years ago, I fell in love with the Maine coast.

Since then, my husband and I have built our life here while raising our three kids surrounded by everything we love most about coastal Maine.

It was never just the ocean that drew me in, it was the feeling of life here. The quiet mornings. The small seaside towns. A slower, calmer childhood for our kids. Small local schools and a community that cares. Weekends at the beach or skiing in the mountains. Eating at our friend’s local restaurant and shopping at our neighbors bakery. A community of genuine, kind people who also love life in coastal Maine.

But long before I officially became a realtor, real estate had already been a huge part of my life.

For more than two decades, I’ve been immersed in the world of homes through mortgage lending, investing, renovating, designing, building, marketing, and personally buying and selling properties myself. I’ve experienced nearly every side of the process. Not just professionally, but personally, which gives me a perspective that goes far beyond simply opening doors and writing contracts.

I understand what it feels like to search for the right home.
To wonder if you’re making the right decision.
To want a space that just “feels right”.

That understanding shapes everything about how I work.

A Different Approach to Real Estate

My approach is highly personal, thoughtful, and relationship-driven.

I’m not interested in rushing clients through transactions or treating homes like inventory. I believe the best real estate experiences begin with listening carefully and understanding how someone truly wants to live.

Because the right home is rarely just about square footage or finishes.

It’s about how a space feels.

It’s about whether your kids will run barefoot through the sprinklers in the backyard all summer. Whether you’ll walk to coffee on quiet mornings. Whether your friends will gather around the kitchen island. Whether the home creates peace the moment you walk through the door.

That’s the part of real estate I love most: helping people find spaces that truly make them happy.

The Marketing & Design Advantage

Before real estate, I graduated from Babson College with a degree in marketing and worked for a large advertising firm. Later I also started my own online health and wellness brand. These experiences deeply shaped how I see homes and branding today.

I understand how presentation, storytelling, emotion, and strategy influence the way buyers connect with a property.
That experience allows me to market homes differently, with intentionality, elevated visuals, thoughtful positioning, and a strong understanding of what today’s buyers are actually drawn to.

Calm Guidance in a Big Moment

Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest financial and emotional decisions most people will make.

My goal is to make the process feel calm, clear, and deeply supported from beginning to end.

I value my business on:

• clear communication

• attention to detail

• honesty

• calm confident energy

• thoughtful guidance

• ability to truly listen

I intentionally keep things personal because relationships matter to me far more than transactions ever will.

Rooted in Maine. Connected Beyond It.

As part of Portside Real Estate Group, I’m connected to a collaborative network of more than 200 agents across Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts who actively work together to support buyers and sellers.

For clients, that means stronger connections, broader exposure, exclusive opportunities, and access to one of the most respected real estate networks in the state.

More Than Finding a Home

At the end of the day, I don’t just want to help clients buy or sell real estate.

I want to help them create a life they genuinely love.

Whether you’re searching for a coastal retreat, a year round family home, an investment property, or a completely new beginning, I’d be honored to help guide you there.
