A neighbor first. Your Realtor® second.
I came to real estate after twenty years in the classroom, and I brought the best parts of that work with me: patience, preparation and a habit of explaining things until they make sense.
My story
I have lived in Cincinnati for about 30 years, and today I live in Walnut Hills, surrounded by the kind of houses I love most: tall ceilings, creaky stairs, porches built for conversation. My kids went all the way through Cincinnati Public Schools, so I know this city from the sidelines of school games and the aisles of neighborhood shops, not just from listing data.
From 2004 to 2024 I taught Social Studies at Indian Hill High School, including AP Human Geography, a class about places and what makes them work well. It turns out that is a great foundation for helping people choose where to live.
Since starting in real estate in September 2024, I have closed 19 transactions in my first year and a half. I work with first-time buyers, investors and downsizers, and I give every one of them the same five-star service.
Seeing a place through other people’s eyes
In 2012 and 2013 I was a Fulbright Teachers for Global Classrooms fellow, a U.S. Department of State program that prepares teachers to bring a global perspective into their classrooms. It sharpened something I still use every day: listening closely to how people experience a place before I start talking about it.
I have traveled to 15 countries, and every trip reminds me that a home is never just a building. It is a street, a school, a corner store, a neighbor who waves. That is how I think about Cincinnati’s neighborhoods, too. I will listen carefully to help you find the neighborhood that is right for you.
My home team
My husband is Colombian-American and a soccer fanatic. (He would want me to call it football.) If there is a big match on, you will know where to find us.
