It's a wonderful day at RE/MAX and here in Centre County and Happy Valley!! I've been blessed to call Central PA my home since 2004 when I relocated here from Phila.  I married an amazing hometown guy, the 6th Grade Instrumental Band Director for SCASD, my parents live five minutes away from us and I get to be part of an amazing community. I feel so very blessed with where my journey has brought me.

My dad enlisted in the Air Force the year I was born. It set the tone for the first part of my life, being continually uprooted, and being far from family and friends and the security that can bring. It presented both challenges and lifelong opportunities.

Besides PA, I have lived in Washington State, Idaho, Louisiana, Hawaii, and Colorado. I've lived in busy and loud cities as well as small and rural areas. I've met a wide array of people throughout all of my travels, and have always taken care of others, whether that was part of my job or not.

So, getting into Real Estate and making my clients feel at home since 2014 was a natural fit for my customer service background. It's exciting because every day is different, the market is ever changing, technology is always evolving, and trends are constantly updating. People will always want a place to call their own.  A safe space to lay their head at night. Somewhere to grow their roots and I love being a part of  that!!

In addition to Real Estate, I enjoy being involved with my church, Faith United Methodist, in Bellefonte, as well as travel, especially to the Adirondacks every Summer for hiking, canoeing, and boating. We are avid history buffs and enjoy studying battlefields. For indoor activities, I love reading and doing puzzles.

I look forward to helping you in every way I can. Please allow my knowledge and know-how to guide you through the buying, selling, or investing process. There are so many things to consider and you need someone who has your best interests at heart. I can't wait to hear from you. Let's chat.

All the best to you and yours, now and always.

  • We've bought two houses with Ryan's assistance and sold one. Each time it has been a great experience and it's obvious he really knows the local market. He is very big on communication and has offered excellent advice countless times for a variety of home improvement projects.

  • Mariam was awesome - and very patient :) - in helping us find the perfect home. We looked at tons of houses, and she was bound and determined to find the right fit for us. She's also SUPER responsive and was willing to help us with her honest opinions when asked. Even though selling our old home was a nightmare (not by any fault of the Lowe team) I would absolutely use this team again.

  • Really easy to work with. Pretty accommodating as well. Gives great suggestions but will not force them upon you. Made the whole buying/selling experience much easier.

  • We needed a home very quickly in the state college area. Without meeting me and only having conversation over the phone the Lowe's exceeded our expectations. I was able to fly up for less than 24 hours and put an offer on our home!! Professional, responsive, helpful with everything from schools for kids to grocery stores. Our family is thankful for the Lowe's!!
