Having relocated many times over the years (with a family and two cats!), I’m extremely sensitive to the joys and challenges of a life-changing move. A Jackson, Michigan native, I first settled in Northern Virginia in 1986. As a Foreign Service spouse, I also lived in Oman, the Netherlands, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. My residency in apartments, condos, townhomes, and single-family homes has given me first-hand insight into the quality of life every property type provides.

Since permanently moving back to Northern Virginia, I've developed an intimate knowledge of its diverse communities, and thanks to my teaching background I always educate my clients on the area’s market and housing options.
