Real estate is, at its core, about stories. The family that finally outgrew their starter home. The couple buying their first place together. The person who spent years renting and is ready, finally, to put down roots somewhere that actually feels like theirs. I get to be part of all of that. Five years in, it still doesn't feel ordinary.

The moment that stays with me, every time, is watching someone walk into a house and just know. Before they say a word, you can see it. Something settles. That's what this work is really about, not square footage or closing timelines, but the beginning of something. A chapter that starts the second someone turns a key for the first time.

Before real estate, I worked in nursing. It's not as much of a left turn as it sounds. That work taught me to slow down, to listen past what someone is saying and understand what they actually need. Those instincts are just as important when someone is navigating one of the biggest financial and emotional decisions of their life.

I also grew up surrounded by a family of house-flippers and contractors, which means I've always seen homes for what they could be, not just what they are. That perspective shapes how I show a property and how I help clients think through their options, whether they're working with a tight budget or a blank cheque.

Outside of work I'm chasing adventures with my kids and my dog Gus, or making a mess in the kitchen. But the thing that grounds me, in work and in life, is this: home isn't just a place. It's where your story lives. And getting to help people find it, that's the whole point.
