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.

Close to everything. Tucked away from it all. There’s something special about finding a home that feels peaceful and private, while still putting so much of Arlington right outside your door. This light-filled 2-bedroom at Palisade Gardens offers just that. A quiet, tree-lined courtyard setting, thoughtful updates, generous bedrooms, and the rare convenience of an in-unit washer and dryer. And when you’re ready to head out? Rosslyn, Courthouse, Georgetown, the Custis Trail, Metro, parks, restaurants, and DC are all within easy reach. 📍 2103 N Scott Street Unit 84 | Arlington, VA Sometimes it’s not about having more. It’s about having exactly what you need, exactly where you want to be. #ArlingtonVA #ArlingtonRealEstate #PalisadeGardens #RosslynVA #NorthernVirginiaRealEstate
The long weekend is here, and there is plenty happening around the DMV. Here are seven ideas if you are still deciding what to do: 1. Start fall early with apple picking, a corn maze, wagon rides, and pig races at Great Country Farms in Bluemont, Sept. 5–7. 2. Head to The Wharf for DC JazzFest, with live music on multiple stages Sept. 5–6. 3. Watch Highland athletics, dancing, piping, and drumming at the Virginia Scottish Games in The Plains, Sept. 5–6. 4. Check out hundreds of classic and custom vehicles at the Fairfax Labor Day Car Show, Sept. 7 from 8 a.m.–2 p.m. 5. Bring a chair to National Harbor for a free waterfront performance by the U.S. Army Band, Sept. 5 at 7 p.m. 6. Visit USAA’s temporary National Military Monument at the Lincoln Memorial, honoring more than 41 million American service members. 7. Or keep it simple and squeeze in one last pool day before many local pools close for the season. Tag a friend, pick a favorite, and make the most of the extra day off! However you spend it, I hope your weekend includes a little fun, a little rest, and absolutely no alarm clock on Monday. 🙂 #DMVEvents #LaborDayWeekend #NorthernVirginia #MilitaryFamily #NoVaEvents
