It's all about
Finding the Right Fit.

My story

I'm an Orinda lifer. I attended Orinda schools from age 5 to 18, graduated from Miramonte, and fell in love with the charm, comfort and lifestyle this town offers. After college I tried on plenty of other cities, but nothing came close, so my husband and I moved back in 2007 to raise our three daughters here.

I earned my Bachelor of Science at Brigham Young University and began my career in private wealth management, first at Salomon Smith Barney in Utah and then at Goldman Sachs in New York and Los Angeles. After eight years devoted to raising our girls, I combined my finance background with my knowledge of Lamorinda and became a Realtor in 2009.

I started in one of the toughest real estate markets in memory. By 2012 I was among the top 1% of Orinda agents, and I've stayed there every year since. In Orinda, I've ranked in the top 3 over the last ten years, including #1 in 2025, and I've been a top 10 agent across all of Lamorinda since 2009.

How I work

My clients get the precision of a finance professional and the insight of someone who has lived here most of her life. For sellers, that means careful pricing, thoughtful staging and marketing, and skilled negotiation. For buyers, it means access to on and off-market homes, thorough research and smooth transaction coordination from offer to keys.

Access built over generations

Lamorinda is a close-knit community, and many of the best homes change hands through relationships. As a partner at Village Associates, I'm part of a firm whose inventory has been built through years of dedicated service and generations of trust. When you see my sign, it stands for that commitment.
