Get To Know Me

"Finding your sanctuary in the city that never sleeps" is my promise to all my clients. Whether you are seeking that perfect space or selling a prized property, I am 100% dedicated to meeting your needs and protecting your best interest in the unique and vibrant New York City market.

I have served in the brokerage capacity of real estate since 2016. I came into this business after a seasoned twenty-five year career as a Wall Street analyst. My excellent financial savvy and analytical skills, command of the digital space, and organized, detail-oriented approach help me navigate all facets of real estate transactions.

Born and raised in Manhattan, I went to Trinity School prep school, then graduated from Carnegie-Mellon University with a BS in Business Administration and Mathematics and an MBA from Zicklin School of Business. Having lived in Chelsea, Union Square, Washington Heights, and Harlem, I understand the ebbs and flows of the market and the diverse neighborhoods of Manhattan. I have experienced New York City living as a renter, buyer, seller, and co-op and condominium owner. I have earned the coveted Certified Buyer Representative and Master Certified Negotiation Expert designations; this plus my keen eye for design and staging and up-to-date insights on new condominium developments bring greater value to my clients.
