I was introduced to Hatteras Island at a young age, spending a lot of time here with family during different seasons over the years. It was always our dream to call this beautiful place home, and in 1999, we made it a reality - leaving Northern Virginia behind for good.

After graduating from Cape Hatteras Secondary School and earning my Associate in Arts degree from the College of the Albemarle, I spent several years traveling in pursuit of my passions: surfing, kiteboarding, and yoga. Those experiences were unforgettable, but nothing ever quite compared to the sense of belonging I feel here on Hatteras Island. 

Today, my husband and I are raising our two daughters in the heart of Buxton. I'm a proud member of the Buxton Civic Association, serve on the Fessenden Center Advisory Board, and am a board member of the Hatteras Island Cancer Foundation. I'm deeply community-minded and love giving back to the island that shaped who I am. 

I thrive in a fast-paced environment and love the energy and variety real estate brings - but I also know how to slow down and savor the simple things, like a quiet beach day with my family or catching waves at sunrise. Whether you're dreaming of calling Hatteras Island home, creating a getaway, or exploring investment opportunities, I look forward to helping you every step of the way.
