"My first career was in hospitality in Manhattan and it taught me the value of authentic connection. That skill has carried me through my real estate career.
I wanted to move closer to the DMV, where my personal life was taking shape. Real estate offered the chance to keep serving people while growing professionally. I began my journey in 2006 co-founding HRLS partners from the ground up. And, almost 20 years later, I'm still energized by this work in the world class clients we serve. What I love most is that every transaction is different. Real Estate may seem linear--buying, selling--but it's far from simple. We navigate complex negotiations, provide expert level marketing and tailor every strategy to each client. Every deal is a new chapter, and the excitement never fades. We work across the capital region and average $3 million per transaction consistently for the past eight years. We're not neighborhood specialists, we're price point experts, bringing a luxury mindset to every property. In 2025 we made a strategic move to partner with TTR Sotheby's International Realty. For over two decades, we've been committed to luxury and aligning with the most prestigious name in real estate felt like the natural next step. With Sotheby's global reach, unmatched discretion, and cultural influence we're positioned to serve exceptional properties like never before. At HRLS partners, we've always pushed boundaries and moving forward, we're embracing innovation, evolving our business, and breaking even more records for our clients and for our team."
