Home means something different to everyone — but you know it when you feel it.

I found that feeling on Old South High Street, not long after trading the wheat fields of eastern Washington for Harrisonburg in 2014. It was a rental, but it fit. The city did too. That early experience of landing somewhere and thinking yes, this — that's what I want for every client I work with.

A decade here has taught me a lot about what makes a home actually work. As a mom of three, I think about space differently now — how layout affects daily rhythm, how a floor plan either supports your life or fights it, how the right home doesn't just look good on paper but functions well on a Tuesday morning. My husband and I have taken on three major renovations during our marriage, which means I know the full arc: the vision, the disruption, the decisions, and the reward of a home that finally reflects who you are.

We're rooted now in the Brookland neighborhood — close to downtown and Westover Park — and I carry all of it into this work. The moves, the renovations, the years of paying attention to what a home can do.

That's what I bring to your process: practical knowledge, genuine care, and a clear understanding of what's at stake.
