REALTOR | ABR, MRP, RSPS, HHS | Art + Design Consultant

With a rich and varied background that spans the creative arena, culinary arts, and global travel, my path to real estate has been anything but ordinary—and I believe that’s exactly what makes my approach so unique.

I began my career as a professional model, spending 17 years traveling the world and connecting with people from all walks of life. That experience taught me the value of communication, adaptability, and cultural perspective—skills I carry with me into every transaction. My foundation in graphic design, marketing, and studio art brings a refined eye to staging, aesthetics, and storytelling—essential tools in both selling homes and helping buyers visualize potential.

My journey into real estate began while working as a Private Chef and Creative Director for a boutique property management company. There, I had the opportunity to help design and launch some of the first short-term rentals in the French Quarter, in addition to long-term residences inside the historic row of "Thirteen Sisters". I’ve also worked under renowned culinary talents like Susan Spicer and Chocolatier Cheryl Scripter, further deepening my connection to this city’s vibrant culture.

 

Real estate runs in my blood—my grandmother was a Realtor in Charleston, South Carolina, and she instilled in me a love of historic homes, architecture, and honest business. Her wisdom, paired with my grandfather’s counsel (and crab-trapping lessons), shaped who I am today.

Outside of real estate, I’m a passionate gardener and certified floral designer. I’ve completed programs in medicinal plants at Cornell University, plant identification at Clemson, and am currently studying Clinical Ayurvedic Herbalism. You’ll often find me enthusiastically discussing curb appeal, native plants, and landscaping ideas with clients who share the same passion for the natural world.

In 2022, I was featured on House Hunters: High and Dry NOLA, and my work has been recognized in various publications and industry awards. Out of everything I have seen and done in this big beautiful world, real estate has been the most meaningful to my soul. Helping people is my true passion. 

Whether you're buying, selling, investing, or dreaming, I’m here to guide you with integrity, creativity, and care.
