Summary

Passionate about real estate and always pushing myself outside my comfort zone, I strive to understand my clients' challenges—particularly how their workplace aligns with their organizational and business objectives. My enthusiasm for creative problem-solving, combined with a sharp attention to detail, enables me to build strong relationships and earn trust. Throughout the years, I have had the opportunity to work with clients across diverse industries, including non-profits, professional services, technology, and financial institutions. Outside of work, I am an avid outdoor enthusiast who enjoys playing competitive soccer, backpacking, traveling, skateboarding, skiing and slacklining. When I'm not outside, you'll likely find me binge-watching interior design shows on HGTV.
