Vancouver

I have been working in Real Estate (officially) since 2009. I enjoy house hunting and doing housing research. My past experience as event planner and company owner I had to be extremely organized and detailed, it is the same with Real Estate. On the listing side I can provide exceptional service, creative marketing strategies and friendly service. I have a very honest and truthful approach with my clients and I am sensitive to you and your families needs through the process.

Granville Island

I am passionate about sailing. During spring and summer of 2011 I worked with Cooper Boating on selling boats and course sales. It was a great opportunity to learn a ton about boats, I was able to get out onto the water and made a bunch of new friends.
