I kept the records before I ever held the license.

Where I learned to stay calm.

I started in healthcare in 2009, and for nine of those years I cared for people in hospice. You learn things there that no real estate class teaches: how to stay steady when someone else can't, how to document so the next person on shift has what they need, and how to talk to a family on the hardest day of their year.

I stayed in that work for years after I entered real estate, because I wasn't ready to let it go. Every client I've served since has been served by that version of me first.

You get someone who has already sat with people through harder days than a closing.

Three agents and a front desk.

In June 2018 I walked into Lewis Real Estate in Wallingford to run the office. We were three agents. My job was everything that isn't the showing: the files, the deadlines, the calls to attorneys, lenders, inspectors and appraisers, the confidential records, the tenants in the building.

I learned how a transaction actually moves by being the person it moved through.

I've handled the paperwork behind hundreds of closings, so yours doesn't surprise me.

Then the license.

By the time Connecticut licensed me in 2021, I had already sat on the other side of hundreds of files. Most agents learn the back office after their first deal goes sideways. I ran it first.

That's why I read a contract for the dates that bite and know which call to make when an appraisal comes in short.

Fewer surprises, clearer next steps, and someone who already knows what the attorney will ask for.

The firm grew. The systems had to grow first.

Three agents became several, and the brand grew with us. In 2024 the firm bought the building it worked from. It became the Lewis Business Center, a building full of small companies, and I handled the tenants, the vendors and the daily problems that come with a lot of front doors.

Growth is where you find out whether a process is real. Mine had to hold for an office of agents and a building full of businesses, not just for me.

The checklist behind your transaction was built for an office, then tested for years.

Twenty-five hundred miles west.

In April 2026 my family and I moved to Las Vegas, close to relatives who were already here. I did what I tell clients to do: planned the move like a transaction, with a timeline, a budget and a written list of what had to be true before we left.

If you're relocating, you're talking to someone who just did it with a family in tow.

One standard, two states.

Today I serve clients anywhere in Connecticut through Lewis Real Estate, where I'm a REALTOR® and its Director of Operations, and across the Las Vegas valley through Keller Williams VIP.

The desk moved. The way I run a file did not.

One person accountable to you at both ends of a move, in either direction.
