#0736098I’ve never had a particularly linear life.
I’m Brooklyn-born and North Dallas-rooted, with a few important stops in between.
My career has taken me through Fortune 500 companies, an MBA at Columbia Business School, real estate investing, entrepreneurship, brokerage, motherhood, cross-country moves, community building, and more than a few moments when the original plan stopped making sense.
Each chapter changed the way I think about success.
Today, much of my work comes back to one question:
"What are we actually building, and does the life we’ve created support the people and things we say matter most?"
That question shapes how I advise clients, how I think about money, how I raise my family, and how I approach my own next chapter.
Before stepping into full-time real estate brokerage, I spent 15 years in client management, corporate strategy, and business development across Fortune 500 environments and top-tier brands—including time at tech giants like Apple. That era taught me how to operate with institutional precision, analyze complex markets, negotiate high-stakes deals, and build strategies centered around long-term value creation.
To further refine my business acumen, I earned my MBA from Columbia Business School. My time at Columbia sharpened my analytical approach to finance, investment structure, and capital allocation—skills that would later become the backbone of my real estate practice.
My passion for real estate began not as a sales agent, but as an investor. Recognizing property as one of the most reliable vehicles for generational wealth, I expanded into real estate acquisitions, management, and capital deployment.
To date, I have helped investor clients deploy roughly $80 million in investment capital, managed residential portfolios, and even expanded into ground-up development—currently leading the development of a 65-home residential community in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Having moved from New York City to Northern California before settling in Greater North Dallas, I understand firsthand the friction, emotional weight, and logistical puzzle of relocation.
That lived experience inspired the creation of the Settled Nomad Real Estate Group at Compass, where I serve as Principal and Broker Associate. Whether working with first-time buyers, families making cross-country moves, or seasoned investors, my goal is to turn real estate transactions into seamless, empowering steps toward long-term financial security.
Today, Far North Dallas is home. Outside of real estate, my life revolves around my husband, Michael, and our three children—frequently spent at weekend soccer games, swim meets, and local community events.
For me, building wealth means nothing without building community. I actively dedicate my time to organizations focused on education, youth development, and female empowerment:
Board Member, Plano ISD Education Foundation
Board Member, Plano Chamber of Commerce’s Leadership Plano Program
Mother Member, Jack and Jill of America, Inc.
Silver Member, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.
Through my platform Rooted & Reason, as well as regular speaking engagements, I engage with individuals and families on aligned topics: building intentional wealth, navigating career and personal transitions, and creating lives deeply rooted in purpose.
