Hello! Before real estate, I worked for several years as a paralegal — an experience that still shapes how I serve my clients today. Contracts, deadlines, and fine print are second nature to me, and I bring that same precision to every transaction. Buying or selling a home is one of life's biggest decisions, and having an agent who understands its legal intricacies offers genuine peace of mind. As a local (Tulane and Loyola grad), I know this city's history and character intimately, and I love helping clients find their place here, from Bywater to Metairie. I love of travel, culture, and storytelling — interests that shape how I connect with people and understand what truly makes a house a home. Whether you're buying your first property or selling one you've cherished for years, I bring the same standard to every transaction: thorough, detail-oriented, and committed to protecting your best interests.
