About Me

 

As the founder of The First Acre and a real estate agent with Allen Tate, I bring more than just market knowledge—I bring a mission. With a Master’s degree in Sociology and a background in public education policy, housing access, and food security, I understand how where we live shapes every part of our lives. That’s why I specialize in helping first-time buyers, sellers, and investors build stability and long-term equity, especially in communities often overlooked.

Before real estate, I spent nearly a decade leading training and onboarding programs in the tech sector. Today, I apply that same clarity and care to guide my clients through every step of the homebuying or selling process—and long after closing. My goal isn’t just to help you find a house—it’s to support your transition into homeownership with tools, vendor resources, and post-sale support designed to make you feel confident and connected.

I proudly serve clients across the Triangle and throughout North Carolina, always striving to offer a more thoughtful, informed, and people-first real estate experience.
