About
Arlington Local Expert & 30-Year Military Spouse | Associate Broker, RLAH | 560+ Successful Transactions
For more than 13 years, I’ve helped families plant roots in the neighborhoods I’m proud to call home. As an Arlington resident and seasoned real estate professional, I specialize in the fast-moving Northern Virginia market—where speed, strategy, and hyper-local insight make all the difference.
For First-Time Buyers:
I’m an educator at heart. With over 560 transactions closed, I guide buyers through every step of the process from navigating competitive bidding wars in Arlington to uncovering hidden-gem neighborhoods in Fairfax and Alexandria that offer long-term value.
For Military Families:
I speak your language. After 30+ years as a military spouse, I understand the “PCS clock” and the pressure that comes with it. I help families relocating to and from the Pentagon, Fort Belvoir, and Quantico find homes that balance BAH, commute, and lifestyle—without unnecessary stress.
As an Associate Broker with RLAH, and former Managing Broker of Buck & Associates, I bring together a background in Psychology and Interior Design with deep market knowledge and strong negotiation skills. This allows me to see both the potential in a property and the strategy needed to protect my clients’ interests.
Originally from Maine, I’ve made Northern Virginia home through multiple moves and deployments. When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me exploring Arlington’s newest local spots or traveling with my husband, Ken, our grown children, and our rescue dog, Wanda.
Northern Virginia is more than a collection of zip codes, it’s a community. I’d love to help you find your place in it.

For military families, goodbyes are nothing new. We’ve packed boxes, changed schools, moved across states and countries, watched friendships begin and end, and learned how to make a new place feel like home. But dropping a child off at college? That goodbye feels different. ❤️ You spend years teaching them how to adapt, be independent, meet new people, and find their way in unfamiliar places. And then suddenly, all those skills military kids learned growing up are exactly the ones they’re taking with them as they start this next chapter. To all the parents unloading cars, making one last Target run, setting up dorm rooms, and trying to hold it together when it’s finally time to drive away… I see you. And to the military kids starting college this fall: You’ve been preparing for new beginnings your whole life. Go make this place yours. ❤️🇺🇸 #MilitaryFamily #MilitaryKids #CollegeMoveIn #CollegeDropOff #MilitaryLife
Moving to Northern Virginia and trying to figure out where your family will actually feel at home? 📍 Arlington, Alexandria and Springfield can all be great options, but they offer very different day-to-day lifestyles. Maybe you want a shorter commute and walkability. Maybe you’re looking for more space, a yard and a neighborhood feel. Or maybe you’re PCSing to the area and trying to balance proximity to the Pentagon or Fort Belvoir with everything your family needs outside of work. The right fit isn’t just about the house. It’s about your commute, budget, schools, weekend routine and what you want everyday life to look like. Swipe through for a quick look at how these three Northern Virginia areas compare. ➡️ And if a move to Northern Virginia is on your horizon, I’m always happy to help you narrow down the areas that make the most sense for your family. #NorthernVirginiaRealEstate #MovingToNorthernVirginia #NorthernVirginiaRealtor #MilitaryRelocation #PCSToVirginia
