I know Lynchburg and want to see our historic neighborhoods thrive.
After moving from the Washington, D.C., area when I was young, I grew up in the City of Lynchburg, where I attended the Lynchburg City Schools system. Having never lived in a house “younger” than 1925, I developed a deep appreciation for historic architecture through my parents, consistently working every weekend on an entire home restoration through my teenage years. I left Lynchburg to attend Virginia Tech where I graduated with a degree in Urban Planning from the college of Architecture and Urban Studies.
After college I spent significant time in the renovation and development industry, during which time I purchased my first home at the age of 23 in the Federal Hill Historic District and never looked back. My husband and I remain the owners of that home, since then My husband and I have lived in several homes and historic districts.

Get to know me
WHEN I SAY I KNOW HOUSES, I GENUINELY MEAN I KNOW THEM INSIDE AND OUT.
I have pulled wired, stripped 100 year old shellac and paint, installed kitchens and stained every piece of woodwork imaginable, which has only given me a greater understanding and love for our historic properties.
I can see the potential in almost any property, and a little (or a lot) of hard work has never scared me off.
I specializes in historic homes and neighborhoods specifically in the downtown and Rivermont areas because that is what I consider to be the heart and soul of our city. Here, much of our architectural integrity lies — one of the features that makes our city truly stand out.
I know Lynchburg and want to see our historic neighborhoods thrive. Working with me is working with someone who believes in this community, its historic value and its people.
