She didn't buy the most expensive home on the block. But she saved carefully, made sacrifices quietly, and treated it like the most important decision of her life — because it was.

The agent she chose didn't see it that way. Communication was slow. Guidance was thin. When it came time to sell years later, she called the same agent again — because nobody had ever offered her a better option. Her home sat vacant. It wasn't cared for. It didn't sell the way it should have.

Somewhere in all of that, the excitement she'd carried for years just disappeared.

I watched it happen. And I decided that if I ever worked in real estate, I would be the agent she should have had.

Before real estate, I spent two decades as a Product Manager in tech managing cross-functional teams, navigating complex decisions under pressure, and overseeing projects with budgets exceeding $120 million.

What that career taught me wasn't technology. It was people. How to listen carefully. How to cut through noise and identify what actually matters. How to tell someone the truth when they need to hear it, even when it's uncomfortable.

Those skills don't disappear when you change industries. They transfer directly and completely into every negotiation, every offer review, every conversation I have with a client who is trying to figure out what to do next.

My father and my brother are both realtors. I grew up watching how this industry works  the good and the bad. I know what exceptional looks like, and I know what it looks like when someone is just going through the motions.

I chose this work because of my mother's story. But I stay in it because of the people I get to help buyers navigating their first purchase, families relocating across the country, people going through divorces or losses who need someone steady in their corner during one of the hardest seasons of their lives.

Real estate decisions rarely happen in a vacuum. They happen in the middle of everything else. I'm built for that complexity.

I serve buyers and sellers across King and Snohomish County. My father and brother are realtors. I come from this world and I know exactly how much better it can be when someone genuinely shows up for their clients.
