Rooted in Ridgefield, CT and inspired by the rhythms of community and nature, I bring more than market expertise to real estate—I bring a passion for helping people build lives that are grounded, connected, and regenerative.

As a mom of three and an active member of the Ridgefield community, I understand the deep importance of finding not just a house, but a home that supports your values and vision for the future. My journey began in the world of hospitality, selling hotels and fueling a love for travel and connection. But becoming a mother and a homeowner reshaped my outlook: travel evolved into a deeper calling toward sustainable living, and a desire to contribute to a thriving, resilient community—one that honors tradition while nurturing the next generation.

That vision led me to help launch the Ridgefield Farmers Market, a project born from the belief that local, sustainable food is at the heart of a healthier future—for our families and our planet. It’s also what informs my approach to real estate today: connecting clients with homes and properties that align with the promise and possibilities of regenerative living, from energy-efficient homes to neighborhoods rich in community spirit and ecological integrity.

Whether you're buying your first home, seeking a lifestyle change, or looking for land to build your dream sustainably, I’m here to guide you with honesty, care, and a deep understanding of both the Ridgefield market and the kind of life you want to build.

Let’s find a home that reflects not just who you are—but the future you want to help shape.
