I'm a Chicago-born native who has made the East Coast my home for the past 18 years. After spending over a decade at a top-ranking brokerage firm in Midtown Manhattan and completing my Masters degree, I've moved my brand over to SERHANT. to continue my work in servicing the New York City and New Jersey markets.In 2010, I left my job as an office manager at a boutique architectural firm in the Meatpacking district to obtain my real estate license in New York, landing at a prestigious and top-performing brokerage firm shortly after. From there, I secured my New Jersey license. I ultimately landed on The Lesley Steiner Team in NYC, where I specialized in international relocation, managing multiple accounts and hundreds of clients for the team in the Hudson County region and beyond. Over the years, I've secured homes for thousands of clients, grossing millions of dollars in transactions between both states.In addition to my work in residential real estate brokerage, I specializes in development, redevelopment, and acquisitions and am currently working in the real estate development field to acquire various properties of my own, having recently graduated from Columbia University with a Master of Science in Real Estate Development. These studies have allowed me to transition into the commercial and new development brokerage markets, both of which are my concentration as a member of Serhant’s team.Beyond my extensive experience in real estate, I also holds two undergraduate degrees: a BFA in Fine Art from The School of The Art Institute of Chicago, and a BA in Art and Graphic Communications from Western Illinois University. In my spare time I enjoy oil painting, giant breed dogs, walking through cities for hours, hiking, and trying out all types of restaurants and cuisines.
