I’m the one in pink:)

I have always been the person people turn to when they need a trusted friend to help. After a 25-year career in marketing, I found myself searching for something more meaningful—a way to make a living that also made a difference. Serendipity stepped in when I helped a dear friend who had suddenly lost his mother. Guiding him through the care and maintenance of multiple properties, coordinating with his family, and preparing everything for sale ultimately led me here, to The Curated Estate.

I grew up on the west side of Cleveland, in Lakewood and Rocky River, spending my summers at CYC Sail Camp and my school years at Laurel School in Shaker Heights. From there, I attended Colby College in Maine, earning a degree in Psychology with a focus in Neurology. After graduation, I moved to Chicago, where I completed culinary school at Le Cordon Bleu and later earned my MBA from DePaul University. But at heart, I’ve always been a Cleveland girl, and in 2009, I returned home.

Why share my background with you? Because I want you to know two things. First, you can trust me. I am the “girl next door,” the sister everyone wishes they had to step in and handle things, the ride-or-die friend who shows up when you need her most. Second, while I may be a little overeducated for this work, I bring all of that knowledge and life experience with me. I use my brain to solve problems, do what’s right, and make the process easier for those around me.

My goal in starting The Curated Estate is independence—both for myself and for my clients. I provide the kind of support that gives families the freedom to focus on what matters most, while I take care of the details.
