I’ve spent more than two decades in residential rental management, and if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that property management is never just about the property — it’s about people, strategy, and doing things the right way.
As President of Living Room Property Management, my work is centered on helping property owners and tenants thrive through thoughtful systems, clear communication, and ethical housing practices.
I love the problem-solving side of this industry — translating complex laws into practical strategies, building processes that support both people and performance, and helping owners make confident decisions about their homes.
People usually call me when they want to talk through the strategy of being a rental property owner. Whether it’s selling a tenant-occupied home, navigating a tough tenant situation, pricing a property, deciding on upgrades, or figuring out the right time to lease, I help people think through the long game. After 25+ years in the industry, I’ve likely encountered a version of your situation before and can offer perspective to support your overall strategy.
I’m passionate about sharing rental trends through both national data and insights from our own portfolio of homes. The hyper-local Portland–Vancouver market is our specialty, and our team is deeply committed to helping housing providers understand both the laws and the realities of our local market.
Industry leadership and community involvement are an important part of my work. I serve as a board member of the Greater Portland chapter of the National Association of Residential Property Managers (NARPM) and had the honor of serving as the 2025 Board President. I’m also a dedicated member of Multifamily NW and the Oregon Realtist community — a group of professionals across the real estate industry working to foster inclusive collaboration, support underserved communities, and create pathways toward greater Black and minority homeownership in Oregon.
I hold property management licenses in both Oregon and Washington and am grateful to manage homes throughout the Portland–Vancouver metro area.
A few things you should know about me: I won’t help anyone get around the law. Ethical housing practices are non-negotiable. And I won’t speak negatively about our city or our neighborhoods — I believe deeply in this community and wouldn’t choose to do this work anywhere else.
Portland is home. I grew up in Montavilla and attended Marshall High School, and today I’m raising my family in the east metro area with my high-school-sweetheart-turned-husband, our kids, and our dog. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me enjoying live comedy or theater, exploring great food, or singing along (loudly) to the Hamilton soundtrack on a scenic drive.
At the end of the day, my goal is simple: help people become thoughtful, confident housing providers — and make room for them to live.
