My fascination with architecture and design, combined with my passion for helping people, naturally led me to a career in real estate. I believe that finding the right home is more than just a transaction—it's about creating a space where memories are made and lives are lived.

This fascination enhances my appreciation for unique home features and cultural nuances. Looking ahead, I plan to explore Europe, a completely different world that promises new adventures and perspectives.

What’s one thing most people don’t know about you?: Many people might assume I'm reserved, but in reality, I'm incredibly approachable and friendly. Once I get to know someone, I treat them like family, always going above and beyond to help. This quality translates seamlessly into my real estate career, where I build lasting relationships and ensure every client feels valued and supported throughout their home-buying or selling journey.

What is your favourite part of selling real estate?: One of the aspects I love most about selling real estate is the joy of matching people with their perfect home. It's incredibly rewarding to see clients' faces light up when they find a place that resonates with them, reflecting their dreams and lifestyle. As someone who is fascinated by different types of homes and features, I approach finding homes for my clients with the same care and excitement as if I were looking for my own.Additionally, I enjoy the dynamic nature of the real estate market. Each transaction brings new challenges and learning opportunities, allowing me to continually grow and refine my skills. The ever-changing landscape keeps me engaged and motivated, knowing that I'm helping people through significant life milestones.

What are your favourite books, movies, shows, bands?: Lately, I've been captivated by "Culinary Wars" on Netflix. As an avid home chef, the show has sparked my imagination and even made me dream about pursuing a culinary career, though I most likely won't become a professional chef. I also enjoyed watching "Selling Sunset," which inspired me to pursue a real estate career.
