As a dedicated gay real estate agent based in Portland, Oregon, I bring a rich background in marketing and graphic design to my work. I earned my degree from Utah Tech University in Southern Utah and spent more than seven years as a marketing manager for a home builder, where I mastered modern advertising techniques and gained a deep understanding of the housing industry.
Growing up in a conservative area taught me how important it is to feel safe, accepted, and understood. That experience shapes how I approach real estate today and fuels my passion for working with the queer community—helping clients find homes where they can truly be themselves.
After moving to Portland, I transitioned into real estate sales and continued to refine my marketing skills while working with a respected local home builder. I use that experience every day to help my clients, whether they’re buying an existing home or exploring custom building options. My goal is always to make the process seamless, informed, and enjoyable.
For sellers, my marketing background is a valuable advantage. I know how to craft compelling listings and leverage multiple advertising channels to help homes stand out and sell quickly.
When I’m not working, I love exploring the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. You’ll often find me swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, or fishing—usually with my dog, Mia, by my side. I also enjoy visiting local wineries and unwinding with a glass of wine. With my expertise, authenticity, and commitment to inclusion, I’m here to guide you through every step of your real estate journey in the Portland Metro area.
