A Little About Me

I’m originally from a charming town called Broughty Ferry, nestled on the east coast of Scotland. After a visit to Santa Barbara in the early 80’s, I instantly knew this beautiful place would one day be home—and I feel so lucky that it is.

My career started at the San Ysidro Ranch, one of America’s top hotels, where I worked in the sales department. That experience led me to an amazing opportunity: managing a portfolio of beachfront properties for a well-known Montecito family. It was my first step into the world of luxury real estate—and I was hooked.

Fast-forward nearly 25 years, and I now proudly hang my license with Compass in Montecito, helping clients buy, sell, and lease properties in this incredible community. Real estate isn’t just my career—it’s my calling. I bring deep local knowledge, a strong network, and a thoughtful, relationship-focused approach to every client I work with.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband Matt and our two dogs. You’ll often find us walking along Miramar Beach or enjoying good wine and great conversation with friends.

I’m truly grateful every day to live and work in such a special place—and I’d love to help you feel the same way about where you call home.
