  There is no better feeling than making a house a home—especially when that home is in Nova Scotia. If you’re ready to take that step, I’m here to help. As a CPA, I understand the ins and outs of complex financial transactions like purchasing property—but my passion for people and ability to personalize your experience is what sets me apart as a REALTOR®. Whether you’re an investor, seller, or first-time buyer, you can put your trust in me to guide and support you through your unique real estate journey (and even have some fun along the way). Between my childhood on the South Shore, career in Halifax, and social media side-hustle (that’s taken me to some of the best brunch spots in the region), I’ve developed a deep knowledge of what this province has to offer and a vast network to help harness it. Grab a coffee with me today and let’s discuss how we can work together to find your dream home. Show less
