Bio
With deep roots on Marco Island spanning nearly three decades, I bring both local knowledge and a genuine passion for this community to every client I work with. Today, I am proud to serve as a licensed real estate agent with The Gulf Group at William Raveis, helping clients navigate Marco Island, Naples, and Southwest Florida. My goal is to make the buying and selling process seamless while empowering clients to make confident, educated decisions in one of the most beautiful places to live. My path to real estate has been shaped by diverse experiences. I built a career in finance, most recently as a financial manager, which gave me the confidence and discipline to pursue my lifelong goal of entrepreneurship. I founded Deja Vu Studios, a sustainability-driven design studio built on creativity and purpose. Through partnerships like CleanHub, we have funded the removal of 500+ lbs of ocean-bound plastic within one year of founding while fostering a community that values the impact of a circular economy. This journey, combining finance, entrepreneurship, design, and sustainability has given me a unique perspective. I understand the importance of details, the power of vision, and the value of creating something that lasts. These qualities guide me in real estate, helping clients find not just a house, but a home that truly fits their lifestyle. Whether you are purchasing your first home, searching for your Gulf Coast retreat, or preparing to sell, I am committed to providing clear guidance, creative solutions, and dedicated service every step of the way.
