I’ve been part of the Peterborough business community for over 25 years. In 2018, with a solid background in credit, finance and sales, I transitioned to a career in real estate and haven’t looked back. I pride myself on being a dedicated real estate professional with a reputation for taking exceptional care of my clients and getting the job done.
My clients appreciate my attention to detail and my ability to negotiate on their behalf. If you are buying, I am committed to finding you the perfect property, whether it be a starter home, an investment property, a luxury estate or a great family cottage. If you are selling, I have an organized and strategic approach to market your property to obtain the highest exposure and ultimately get you the best possible price.
I wish you all the best in achieving your real estate goals and would welcome the opportunity to assist you in making them happen.

Helping women and children escape violence and rebuild their lives. A portion of my compensation from every home sale and purchase is donated to local women's shelters through the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation. Because of our commitment to strengthen the communities where we live and work, Royal LePage is the only Canadian real estate company with its own charitable foundation. The Royal LePage Shelter Foundation is Canada’s largest public foundation dedicated exclusively to funding women’s shelters and violence prevention programs.
The foundation helps more than 50,000 women and children who are served each year by the shelters and support programs it funds. Since 1998, the Shelter Foundation has raised $38 million and currently supports 200 local women’s shelters and national partners. Royal LePage brokers, agents and staff also volunteer and provide in-kind goods to benefit the women and children residing in their local shelters.
