Rooted in Oregon. Focused on Home.
e Team.
For me, home has never been just four walls and an address. It's the people around the dinner table, the garden out back, the neighborhood you know by heart, and the places where your family's stories unfold.
That's the idea behind Oregon Rooted Home.
What It Means to Be Oregon Rooted
I was born and raised here in the Willamette Valley, growing up just outside Corvallis before moving to Eugene to attend the University of Oregon. I graduated with bachelor's degrees in Business and Sociology—and, like so many people who come to Eugene, I fell in love with the area and decided to stay. Go Ducks!
Oregon has always been home to me, but my appreciation for this place has only grown over the years. I love that we can spend a Saturday at the farmers market, hike through the woods, head to a lake or river, or pack up the car and be at the coast in a couple of hours.
Some of my family's favorite memories have been made at our little beach house on the Central Oregon Coast. Over the years, it has been the backdrop for countless adventures, beach walks, family gatherings, lazy mornings, and traditions. It's a constant reminder to me that the value of a home can't always be measured in square feet or dollars. Sometimes its greatest value is simply the life that happens there.
That's what Oregon Rooted means to me: finding your place, putting down roots, and creating a home and a life that feel authentically yours.
Real Estate Is About Where Life Happens
That philosophy shapes the way I approach real estate.
Buying or selling a home is a financial transaction, of course—but it's rarely just a financial transaction. There's usually a bigger story behind it.
Maybe you're buying your first home and putting down roots of your own. Maybe your family has outgrown the house you once thought you'd never leave. You might be downsizing, relocating, investing in real estate, searching for a vacation home, or selling a property filled with decades of memories.
Whatever brings you to real estate, my job is to understand where you are, where you want to go, and help you create a thoughtful plan to get there.
That's the heart of Oregon Rooted Home Team.
Experience You Can Lean On
I've been a licensed real estate broker since 2013 and have worked in the real estate industry since 2005, beginning my career in title and escrow.
That background gave me an understanding of the details behind a successful transaction—from title reports and escrow to contracts, timelines, and everything that has to come together behind the scenes before the keys can change hands.
Today, I combine that experience with deep knowledge of Eugene, Springfield, Creswell, and communities throughout Lane County. I believe in honest advice, clear communication, thoughtful negotiation, and making sure my clients understand their options so they can make decisions with confidence.
Most importantly, I want my clients to feel like they have someone genuinely in their corner. Real estate can be exciting, stressful, emotional, and sometimes all three at once. My job is to keep things moving, solve problems when they arise, and make the experience as smooth as possible.
Meet the Home Team
Oregon Rooted Home Team may have my name on the real estate license, but this has always been a family operation.
My husband is the behind-the-scenes MVP—the guy who has installed more real estate signs than he probably ever expected, trimmed hedges before listing photos, strapped water heaters, installed smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, mowed lawns, hauled things around, and jumped in for countless last-minute projects to help get a home ready for market.
Our two daughters have grown up around real estate, too. Since they were little, they've spent plenty of hours riding along to showings, waiting in the car while Mom handled "one quick thing" (which was rarely quick!), and occasionally accompanying me while I worked. As they've gotten older, they've become part of the marketing department—helping assemble client pop-bys, prepare cards and marketing materials, and make deliveries around town.
And then there are the four-legged members of the Home Team. Our cat specializes primarily in moral support, while our Australian Shepherd has taken on a more public-facing role—you may recognize a certain fluffy face from frequent appearances in my real estate and Oregon lifestyle videos online.
It's not the traditional definition of a real estate team, but that's exactly why the name Oregon Rooted Home Team feels right to me. This business has grown alongside our family, and they've been part of it every step of the way.
When you work with me, you're supporting a small, local, family-run business that's deeply rooted in the community we call home. And there's a pretty good chance that somewhere behind the scenes, one of my favorite people—or pets—helped make it happen.
Homes That Work With the Way We Live
I'm also passionate about the relationship between our homes and the environment around them.
As an accredited Earth Advantage Broker, I've pursued additional education around energy-efficient, healthy, and sustainable homes. I enjoy helping clients recognize features and improvements that can make a home more comfortable, efficient, environmentally responsible, and enjoyable to live in.
That interest extends to my own home, where you'll often find me outside with my hands in the dirt. Gardening has become one of my favorite ways to connect with this place. I especially love learning about native Oregon plants, growing food, and finding more sustainable ways to care for our home and landscape. There's something incredibly satisfying about cooking, canning, or preserving something you've grown or picked yourself.
I believe our homes can do more than shelter us. They can help us live better and feel more connected to the place we call home.
Rooted in Community
Being part of a community—and helping where you can—is something that was instilled in me growing up.
Over the years, that has taken many forms: volunteering in my daughters' schools, coaching youth soccer, working with local nonprofits, participating in fundraising efforts, and supporting organizations doing important work throughout Lane County.
Life is busy, but I believe there's real value in showing up for the people and places around us. Community is a big part of what makes somewhere feel like home.
Life Outside Real Estate
When I'm not working with clients, much of my world revolves around my husband, our two daughters, and our dog and cat.
You'll usually find us at a school or sporting event, working on a project around the house, gardening, hosting friends for a backyard barbecue, catching live music, hiking or biking somewhere beautiful, cheering on the Ducks, or heading to the coast whenever we get the chance.
It's a full life, sometimes a messy one, and one I'm incredibly grateful to have built right here in Oregon.
Let's Find Your Place
Whether you're buying your first home, selling a longtime family property, upsizing, downsizing, investing, relocating, or dreaming about an Oregon getaway of your own, I'd be honored to be part of what's next.
You don't need to have everything figured out before we talk. Sometimes the first step is simply sitting down, talking about where you are and where you'd like to go, and figuring out the path from there.
Because at the end of the day, real estate isn't really about houses.
It's about finding your place, putting down roots, and creating a life that feels like home.
