REALTOR®️

Born and raised in Athens, I graduated from Athens Academy in 1993 and then went on to earn my degree in marketing from Ole Miss. Post graduation, I came home to Athens and have been an active member of the community ever since.   

I grew up in an area known as Five Points which is well known for its proximity to the University of Georgia and Downtown, and largely raised my family there. I have a special place in my heart  for Athens, which is why I decided to enter the real estate industry in 2004. I like to think I have a talent for juggling – one only a parent of four kids can possess. With my years of experience and my drive to find my clients their ideal homes, I always get the job done.

I also support the amazing, local organization Extra Special People.
