A little more about me

My background is in social work, and I jokingly call myself a “recovering therapist.” I still train people for peer support roles in the substance use disorder field, and I’m a sometimes adjunct professor at Monroe Community College.

All of those experiences shape how I listen, explain things, and work through difficult conversations. I care about how a conversation feels. You should be able to ask questions, say you’re unsure, or tell me something doesn’t work for you. I want to understand what matters to you, including the things that might be hard to put into words.

I also really enjoy the practical side of this work. I like getting into the details, understanding the complexity and nuance of a situation, making useful connections, and figuring out what’s possible. Sometimes there’s a deadline in the mix, too, and I take that seriously.

When I can help, I’ll explain how. When something is outside my experience, I’ll say so.

It’s important to me to do good while doing well. To me, that means building a business I can be proud of, taking my responsibilities seriously, and caring about how the work affects people and communities.

Properties are part of people’s lives. I want the way I do business to reflect that.
