Certified Divorce Real Estate Specialist

Keller Williams Realty Atlanta Partners NE

I help individuals and families navigate one of life's most significant transitions — selling a home during or after divorce.

Background

I've been a licensed REALTOR in Georgia since 2019, specializing in residential real estate and divorce-related property sales. My approach combines real estate knowledge with an understanding of the financial, legal, and personal complexities that arise during major life transitions.

Before focusing on real estate, I built a career in technology. I currently serve as a Senior Customer Experience Program Manager at Microsoft, where I lead strategic initiatives focused on customer satisfaction and operational processes. With over 15 years of experience in Information Technology — including roles as a Software Engineer, Support Engineer, and Program Manager — I developed analytical and problem-solving skills that inform how I approach real estate transactions.

I hold a Master's degree in Computer Information Systems.
