First and foremost, I am a proud, native San Franciscan. Having lived here all my life, I can attest to the beauty and appeal of Bay Area living. The real estate roots run deep in my family as I learned the trade from my mother who worked for Coldwell Banker for over 28 years. I attended the University of California, Davis and received my B.A. in Communication with a minor in History. I began my real estate career in 2010 with Coldwell Banker at the same office I worked in as an assistant in high school. Prior to joining Compass in 2018, I was a part of Coldwell Banker's International President's Elite which ranks me in the top 2% of Coldwell Banker agents internationally. I've been blessed to have built my entire business almost solely on repeat clients and referrals. As a trusted advisor, I am here to listen to your needs and devise a strategic plan to attain those goals while looking out for your best interests. I believe all my clients deserve the utmost professionalism, integrity, timeliness, availability, and accountability from me in everything I do. Going above and beyond expectations is what I strive to attain and building on personal relationships is at the heart of my business. In doing so, I've met many wonderful people who I'm thankful for and I've harvested long lasting friendships. If there's anything else you'd like to know about me, just ask!
