For me, real estate has never been just about transactions, it’s about people, connection, and community.

Having walked through personal losses, I know firsthand how important it is to feel supported and surrounded by others. Those experiences gave me a deep appreciation for the power of community, and it inspired me to make giving back a core part of both my life and my work.

That’s why philanthropy is at the heart of what I do. Every client relationship is more than a business exchange, it’s an opportunity to build connection, create belonging, and extend care. Whether I am sitting with a client and friend who has had to end a marriage, bury a parent, or is ready to say “I do”, each transaction is a season of life I have lived and hold space for.

Through local initiatives like La Grange Helping Neighbors, I’ve been able to support families and neighbors in meaningful ways. It’s my way of helping ensure others feel the strength of community during both everyday moments and life’s bigger challenges.

To me, real estate isn’t just about houses, it’s about people, neighbors, and lifting one another up.
