I am a lifelong Ulster County resident with family roots dating back to farming in Marbletown, in the 1600s. I grew up in Stone Ridge, and spent much of my time either in my grandmother’s kitchen or exploring our homestead property and the remnants of the family farm that ceased operation in the 1960s. I appreciated at a young age all that Ulster County has to offer, the rich heritage, the community, the landscape, and realize now, more than ever how lucky I am to call this place my home.
After graduating high school at Rondout Valley I worked with local photographer, Jim Smith, and quickly understood what it takes to run a successful small business. Our work together brought us in and out of NYC, to Canada, Europe and the Caribbean. I learned about people and the importance of strong relationships in business, and in life. Working in numerous cities throughout the US was especially rewarding. I experienced what a diverse culture we have here in the states, and only through my travels did I truly realize what idyllic beauty lies here at home in Ulster County.
In 2008, I earned a degree in Automotive Technology from Colombia/Greene Community College and started a new career in the auto industry. My passion for all things automotive, my experience in business and with people quickly manifested into a service management job at Prestige Toyota in Kingston, NY. I very much enjoyed developing a large customer base and servicing the greater communities automotive needs at Toyota.
Now, with a vast knowledge of the area, real estate is an exciting progression for me. I enjoy working in my home town with people I know, and always look forward to meeting new clients. For buyers, sellers and investors alike, helping clients achieve their real estate goals is my purpose and my pleasure. Thank you for reading my profile and your interest in Berkshire Hathaway Homeservices Nutshell Realty, and please do not hesitate to contact me at any time. I look forward to your call.

Licensed Real Estate Salesperson
Hospitality is at the heart of everything I do. I understand how people want to be treated and believe that success is built on tenacity and meaningful relationships.
I was born and raised in NYC and spent summers in Ulster County. When my family was preparing to relocate in 2020, we knew the Hudson Valley was where we wanted to be for 3 reasons: Quality of life; Stunning natural beauty, and; Thriving community culture and services.
In NYC I worked for 15 years in hotels and restaurants and then spent the next 5 years as the CEO of a strategic consulting firm focused in the hospitality, real estate, education and healthcare sectors.
My years of experience in hospitality prepared me to serve clients on their home buying and selling journey and I am passionate about making the process as enjoyable as the outcome. My time as a CEO has sharpened my skills in complex contract negotiations. I am a careful listener, and I pride myself on being able to help folks define their goals and then achieve them.
Let’s chat about your Hudson Valley dream.
After more than 20 years as an executive at Food Network, I have launched a new career in real estate.
I’ve always been interested in real estate - as a homeowner, investor and serial renovator. I spend much of my free time hiking, gardening and cooking, and I really appreciate all the Hudson Valley has to offer.
My husband is a writer and editor on real estate, home design and gardening, and together we maintain an 8-acre former chicken farm in Stone Ridge and an apartment in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan.
As Vice President of Culinary Production at Food Network, I was the liaison to the outside design team that planned and oversaw the construction of the new 6,000-square-foot production kitchen in Chelsea Market.
Let me show you the Hudson Valley I’ve come to love after nearly 20 years of living here. Selling your home? Let me show you what creative marketing, staging and presentation can do.

For over 20 years I love to call New York State home. I worked at a Commercial Real Estate Investment Bank followed by several years as an HR Administrator at Rockefeller University in NYC.

I moved from Manhattan to Ulster County in the early 1980's to help launch WDST-FM, Woodstock's first radio station. Over the past 20 years I've hosted a number of radio talk programs and currently host a weekly Sunday morning talk program, "The Woodstock Roundtable," featuring nationally known authors, artists, musicians, health practitioners, and people who like to laugh.
When Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Nutshell Realty opened for business I was encouraged to get a real estate license and I've really loved the work. The communication skills and extensive network of contacts and relationships I've built up through my radio career serve my real estate customers and clients very well.
I'm very persistent and honest and enjoy working with Nutshell Realty because of their successful track record (fastest growing agency in Ulster County) and their high ethical standards.
