I've called Pittsburgh home for most of my life, having moved here as a child. Over the years, I've lived in many different neighborhoods across the city, gaining a deep appreciation for its unique communities. I grew up in the South Hills and now reside in the North Hills, in McCandless, with my husband, our son, and our four beloved pets--two Golden Retrievers who accompany us whenever possible, and two cats who rule the house. My love for homes started early. Growing up in charming older houses with rich character and history sparked a lifelong fascination with architecture and design. Long before I ever considered a career in real estate, I would spend hours browsing listings on Realtor.com and Zillow just for fun. That passion turned into a profession shortly after we bought our second home. While many find house hunting stressful, I truly enjoyed every moment of it. With a background as a student finance counselor, I bring strong customer service and problem-solving skills to the table--helping clients find the perfect home without stretching their budget. Since becoming a real estate agent, I've found immense joy in guiding people through one of life's biggest decisions. There's nothing quite like seeing the excitement in someone's eyes when they discover "The One." One of my favorite parts of the job is staying in touch with clients and seeing how they transform their new house into a home--sharing photos of renovations and personal touches that make it uniquely theirs.
