Agent Headshot

As a native of Franklin County my free time has been spent enjoying the emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico, bay and rivers. When I'm not on the water, you can find me exploring the cypress swamps and high river bluffs that make up the Apalachicola National Forest.

I grew up in Carrabelle before enrolling at Florida State University and receiving a bachelors degree in Professional and Corporate Communication. My real estate career has enabled me to introduce and share the joy and beauty that the area has to offer. I specialize in relationship focused real estate investing. Focusing on the clients needs throughout the entire home buying and selling process and beyond.
