Real Estate From Someone Who Actually Lives Here

I didn't move to the Golden Isles for the job. I came home. Grew up on St. Simons Island, summers in the Canadian wilderness, and a few years abroad in France, Canada, and Florida — but there's nowhere else I'd rather build a life than right here.

Before I became a REALTOR in 2021, I spent 11 years as a teacher and coach in Glynn County schools. That background shaped how I work: I listen first, educate second, and only then guide you toward the right decision. Whether you're buying your first beach cottage or selling a family property, you deserve someone who knows the territory — and respects your family's story in it.

I'm a Commercial Real Estate Specialist with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Hodnett Cooper Real Estate. But what really matters is this: I know every neighborhood, every hidden gem, the real character of each community.
