Directly out of law school, I started my law practice with a focus on my neighbors and community. With that mission, I counseled clients on a wide range of matters - real estate transactions, land use permitting and appeals, litigation, estate planning, and more. These diverse areas were connected by a common goal of helping clients constructively grow their wealth and achieve their goals - mostly within real estate.
While running the law practice practice, I found a new creative outlet in short-term rental investing. Starting with a house in my family’s lakeside neighborhood, my husband and I now own five STRs in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. When I claim to understand the joys, challenges, and opportunities in STR investing, it’s because I’ve lived it myself. Finding property, designing homes, and building effective systems have been a rewarding experience - one that’s helped my family achieve financial freedom. That’s why I’m proud to provide my peers the legal counsel and confidence needed to grow their own STR investments and businesses.
After many years in South Boston, I now live with my husband and young daughter in Newburyport.
