As a native New Yorker with 15 years of experience in the Hudson Valley, I embody the upstate/city connection in my roles as a realtor and regenerative real estate consultant. My journey here has been rich and diverse, encompassing biodynamic farming, alternative energy and food systems, tiny home builds, historic restoration, community & soil tending. This varied background has shaped my holistic approach to real estate, allowing me to view properties not just as physical assets, but as conduits for meaningful connections between people and their environments.

My services span a wide range of real estate needs, including residential and commercial sales, regenerative consulting, pre-development design, sustainable project planning, feasibility studies, stakeholder engagement, community building, property matching, and investing. I excel in guiding projects towards healthy outcomes, facilitating crucial meetings, and integrating permaculture ethics, net-zero design, and decarbonization principles into real estate ventures.

In the pre-development phase, I offer specialized services such as conceptualizing sustainable project frameworks, conducting thorough site analyses and feasibility studies, aligning a project with stakeholders' visions, and creating designs that appreciate the ecological and social surroundings. My expertise serves a diverse clientele, including developers focused on sustainable projects, farmers seeking land, municipalities planning for sustainable growth, eco-conscious homebuyers and investors, community organizations, and small business owners.

Whether I'm working on a residential transaction, a commercial development, or a community initiative, I bring creativity and encourage deep understanding of the local market/place to every process. My approach is informed not just by professional experience, but also by my personal passions. I thoroughly enjoy these mountains and creeks of the Hudson Valley, and I'm enthusiastic about innovation, immersive arts, sound system and rave culture, and DIY projects. These interests fuel my creative approach to real estate solutions, allowing me to bring a unique perspective to every client and project.

In essence, my work goes beyond traditional real estate services. I'm committed to building momentum, acting as a co-creative partner, and helping my clients realize their highest hopes for their properties and communities in the beautiful Hudson Valley.
