I am a full-time real estate professional and my goal is to provide service with integrity and excellence.

A native South Carolinian that has lived in the Tri-County area ( Charleston, Berkeley and Dorchester Counties) all of my life. As a retired Federal Government Supervisor Analyst, I have traveled all over the world but always returned home to this area because of its uniqueness known as the “low country.” My knowledge of this home market is immeasurable and beyond that I love this place I have always called home.
Now, a licensed real estate agent for 14 years, I began my real estate career as a personal journey for a second home purchase. This search culminated in not just a house but a “ Home full of hopes and dreams.” This venture showed me that this is a service that I would love to pay forward by helping others attain. As Suze Orman said, “Owning a home is key of wealth- both financial affluence and emotional security.”
