With a background in real estate and a lifetime in the military community, I understand the details that matter most during a move. I’ve worked in real estate since 2002, specializing in buying, selling, rentals, and military relocations. I currently serve clients through sales and property management at our Dover office. I pride myself on being resourceful, responsive, and well-connected. Over the years, I’ve built strong relationships with lenders, contractors, inspectors, and other local professionals, giving my clients a reliable network to lean on throughout the buying, selling, or renting process. Kent County has been my home since 1998, when my family relocated from Ramstein Air Base in Germany to Dover Air Force Base. As someone who has been part of the military community my entire life—first as a dependent, then as an Air Force spouse—I understand the unique challenges of military moves. As a Military Residential Specialist (MilRES), I have the training and experience to help make your next move as smooth as possible, whether you’re transitioning from base housing to the private sector or relocating to or from Dover AFB. Whatever your goals, I’ll bring dedication, local knowledge, and a steady hand to guide you every step of the way. When I’m not working with clients, you’ll often find me traveling, volunteering with local no-kill cat shelters, or spending time with my husband, Kelly—who retired after more than 20 years in the USAF—our two children, and our four cats and three dogs. Let’s connect and put my experience to work for your next move.
