I started my real estate career in 2011, after leaving an 11-year career as a Human Resources Manager with Microsoft, in the heart of a downturned market still struggling to recover. I made it my singular mission to help people make a bad situation just a little bit better. I hadn't expected I would leave a career of coaching, being a trusted advisor and guide, and where empathy and compassion was the everyday norm, to a new career I would not only love, but that surprisingly required all those skills and more. I'm known for my direct, honest, and intuitive approach to working with people and care deeply about the human experience in home-buying and selling.
