As an airforce baby, the concept of home was always incredibly important to me. I was born in Adana, Turkey but raised most of my life in the capital region. Before obtaining my real estate license, I worked for four years in the customer service side of car sales and four years as a waitress. My experiences taught me that I knew exactly how to run a business so that people trusted me, but also felt as ease with their decisions.When I got pregnant with my son, I knew I needed to shift my gears to a full time career, not just a job. However, it was going through the process of buying my first home when the light bulb went off. Throughout my homebuying experience, I was the one driving the process and keeping the deal together. I know I had found the way to a fulfilling and rewarding career. If I could do this for myself, I knew I could do it even better for others.Thus, I obtained my license and aligned myself with a team that inspires and encourages me every day to help people buy and sell their largest asset with confidence. In my spare time, I love hiking and exploring the world with my family and our dogs. These moments also provide the inspiration behind my work as a freelance family photographer. My greatest passion is being able to meet new people and witness these incredible milestones with them. I live in Schenectady county with my husband Cullan, sons Tommy and Wesley, and two dogs - Sadie and Reese.
