Trusted Advocacy. Exceptional Santa Fe Real Estate.

Santa Fe is a magical place to visit — but it’s an even better place to live. I know from experience that real estate is powerful. Where you choose to make your home shapes your life, even if you’re here only part-time.

My love affair with northern New Mexico began when my father moved to Santa Fe and opened his law practice in 1983. As a young girl, I spent countless days exploring the city’s historic adobe architecture, Native American culture, world-class art, and the quiet forests of the Sangre de Cristos. Santa Fe captured my heart early — and never let go.

I have been a licensed attorney in New Mexico for twenty-eight years. I practiced law in Santa Fe and Albuquerque, running a successful firm and advocating for clients through life’s most meaningful transitions. That experience honed my skills in negotiation, contracts, and client service — all invaluable in real estate. I understand both the emotional and financial pressures of buying or selling a home, and I bring a detail-oriented, strategic approach to every transaction to make the process as smooth and rewarding as possible.

My passion is helping people. Whether that means connecting with clients on a personal level, negotiating win-win deals, or creatively solving challenges, I’m dedicated to helping you realize your Santa Fe property dreams.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me skiing, hiking, or paddleboarding in the New Mexico sunshine, or spending time with my three lovable dogs — Bruno Mars, Kona Bear, and Gus. I’m also a pianist, an avid reader, a novice historian, and a budding fiction writer.

Transitioning from law to real estate was a natural step — an opportunity to combine decades of professional experience with my love for this extraordinary place. I’ve built a strong network throughout the community and a dynamic team ready to meet your real estate goals with professionalism, creativity, and heart.

Born and raised in Milwaukee, I studied in Switzerland, completed my undergraduate degree at New York University, and earned my law degree in New York City. After traveling the world and living on the East Coast, I can say without hesitation that New Mexico holds my heart.

Let me help you discover what makes life here so special.
