We teamed up in 2018 because of shared values and vision, and a love for helping people.
I’ve been working in real estate since 2004, and in the Portland metro area since 2005, and am grateful for the community of clients I’ve built. I’m excited to live and work in a city with so many beautiful homes and vibrant neighborhoods. I’ve lived on both sides of the river, and currently live in NE Portland, a short walk from the church where my aunt and uncle were married in 1956.
Communication is a very important part of the home buying and selling process. I strive to treat my clients with respect and show them the hard work and high standards that I practice. I enjoy working through the complexities of transactions, and troubleshooting problems when they arise. My many years in the industry give me the ability to handle the details of real estate transactions with professionalism, integrity, and care, always putting my clients first.
I’m proud to be a lifelong Oregonian, and love to spend my free time hiking in the Gorge or camping on the coast with my amazing family. Back in Portland, we enjoy exploring the city’s many parks, shopping at farmers markets, and rooting for the Portland Timbers and Thorns. I’m a former competitive Ultimate Frisbee player, and in recent years have competed in marathons, triathlons, and running events like Hood to Coast. In 2011 I ran in the New York Marathon.
In 2018, I joined Living Room Realty and am proud to work at a mission-driven B Corp that aligns with my values. Also in 2018, I teamed up with Constance Rigney to help better serve clients. We share a love of Portland, healthy food, and parenting.

What I love about the field of real estate is that essentially, it’s about dreams and possibilities. It’s about finding a space that can support the life you are envisioning and crafting.
As a real estate broker, I have the privilege of helping clients find the right space to cultivate their unique senses of possibility; a space for their dreams to take root and grow.
Whether purchasing your first home, dialing in your next investment property, or selling your home, my goal as your agent is to be your ally and advocate, to work diligently and creatively to help you through the process.
What distinguishes me from other realtors? My style in both real estate, and the rest of life, is down to earth and humorous; my spirit warm and enthusiastic. A topnotch communicator, I will always get back to you in a timely manner. Being flexible, thorough, and ethical are the cornerstones of my business. I am a dedicated worker and won’t stop until I get the job done!
I grew up on the East Coast, but my sense of adventure brought me to Oregon, where I found a richness of community, and a great love for the wondrous natural environment of the Northwest. I spent ten years in this city as a practitioner of Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, all the while learning about Portland’s neighborhoods, and hidden gems, through the stories of the fascinating people that call this lovely city home.
Joyfully part of a dream team, I’m currently partnered with Matt Guy, wonderful human and long time real estate whiz. We work expeditiously to successfully help our clients turn their vision into reality.
In my free time you might find me living the VW Van life with my dreamy husband, Scott, and firecracker daughter Roslyn; soaking up the beauty of the Pacific Northwest, supporting local non-profits, or celebrating Portland’s local music scene.

Matt did an amazing job ensuring that the property was in the best possible shape to hit the market. Staging and video were awesome and we ended up with a full price offer right away. So glad we worked with him!

As an out of town buyer, it was important to me to have someone with great local knowledge and a strong understanding of what I wanted to make my home search effective and efficient. After carefully listening to my needs, he helped me identify my target neighborhoods and pre-screened houses for me. He accommated my schedule on the trips I was able to make to Portland to look at homes and was available and organized when I needed him. On top of all this, he’s a warm and caring individual and a pleasure to be around—which. makes what can be a stressful process much more enjoyable.

BUSINESS AS A FORCE FOR GOOD
Why Living Room Realty?
One of the many reasons I chose to be a realtor at Living Room is that it‘s a certified B Corp and values-driven real estate company. These values are even represented in the logo! Comprised of a pinwheel with eight spokes that surround a home, each spoke represents one of the values our company embodies.
