Q: Tell us about your professional experience up to now.

A: I have been in real estate for four years and am passionate about helping families navigate the transition of relocating to or within Rhode Island. My approach goes beyond just finding a home, I guide clients through choosing the right community, lifestyle, and long-term fit. Whether working with local move-up buyers or out-of-state families, I focus on making the process feel clear, supported, and seamless from start to finish.

Q: Where are you originally from? Where do you live?

A: I’m a native Rhode Islander, originally from Smithfield, and always knew I wanted to stay and raise my family here. My husband is from New York, and together we’ve made Rhode Island home for the past 12 years. We now live in Barrington, where we’re raising our two boys and enjoying everything the East Bay and surrounding communities have to offer.

Q: What made you want to join Residential Properties?

A: Joining Residential Properties felt like a natural fit because of our shared appreciation for Rhode Island and a client-first approach to real estate. The brokerage’s strong local presence, reputation, and commitment to helping clients buy and sell thoughtfully align with how I serve my clients and run my business. The opportunity to be part of an independent, woman-founded, family-run firm with such a strong legacy in Rhode Island is especially meaningful to me.

Q: What is your non-work life like?

A: In my free time, you’ll find me outdoors with my husband and our two boys. We love staying active, exploring local events, and enjoying Rhode Island’s coastal lifestyle. I also have a passion for thrifting and vintage home décor. I love finding unique pieces and giving them new life, whether in my own home or as inspiration in homes I work in. We also enjoy traveling and exploring new places, but always appreciate coming back to Rhode Island’s incredible food scene and sense of community. My husband works at a prep school, which keeps us closely connected to education and community life.

Q: What are you most looking forward to now that you are with Residential Properties?

A: I’m looking forward to continuing to grow my business while helping more families feel confident and supported throughout their home buying or selling journey in Rhode Island. The process can feel overwhelming, and I take pride in making it as smooth and enjoyable as possible. I’m especially passionate about sharing my love for this state with families relocating here and helping them find not just a home, but a lifestyle that truly fits.
