Buying and selling a home is evolving into a whole new dynamic. Your choice of a Realtor is more important than ever. For me, what is most important when working with buyers and sellers, is simple: LISTENING! It allows me to focus on what matters most to my clients and effectively meet their needs, my clients have an easy transition and this is what ultimately gives me the most satisfaction. I pride myself on understanding your goals and objectives and my extraordinary attention to detail will help make what can be an emotional undertaking, extremely smooth and rewarding. I understand the personal value attached to a home, so I approach the process as more than just a business transaction.

Raised in Fairfield County, my roots run deep, as does my passion for our community. I lived in NYC for many years and returned to Westport with my family in 2001. There is no place I would rather raise my family than in this wonderful community. I began my career in real estate in 2006 with the intention of sharing my love for the Westport area with others and helping them discover the wonderful lifestyle here in Fairfield County. I am knowledgeable about the housing market as well as the area's schools, amenities, and lifestyle. I graduated from both the Whitman School of Business and the Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University with a BS in Marketing and Advertising and earned my MBA from Fordham with a specialization in Media Management. My previous professional experience includes a high-profile Manhattan marketing career with a leading retail conglomerate, major TV network, and industry trade publications. My extensive background in Direct Marketing and creativity along with my strong negotiating and interpersonal skills has enabled me to be successful in the ever-changing real estate market. I am an active member of the Westport Community.

I enjoy being involved in our community! I am a former board-member of A Better Chance of Westport (ABC) as well as The Service League of Boys (SLOBS). I have been a member of the PTA at Long Lots Elementary, Bedford Middle School and Staples High School. I am a former board member at The Conservative Synagogue, past member and group-leader for The National Charity League and Director of Team Sponsorships for Westport Baseball and Softball. In addition, I was the Parent-Production Coordinator for Westport's Academy of Dance annual Nutcracker ballet.

In my personal time, I enjoy hanging out with my family, spending time at the beach and relaxing with yoga. I am honored to have earned the trust and respect of many buyers and sellers in our area, and welcome the opportunity to speak with you regarding your home. In today's marketplace, the real estate professional you select has a direct effect on your success. Put my track record to work for you!
