LOCAL LIVING AND MARKET MOVES

A

As a dual-licensed real estate professional serving both Nevada and California, I bring a strong foundation in marketing, entrepreneurship, and client service to every transaction. With a degree in business marketing from San Jose State University and a background in running a successful website and media marketing agency, I’ve spent years helping business owners grow their brands, sell their products, and connect with their ideal clients. Many of the relationships I built then are ones I still hold today.

That experience gave me a deep understanding of how to listen, strategize, and deliver results skills I now apply daily in real estate. Whether working with first-time buyers, move-up sellers, or investors, I pride myself on understanding my clients’ needs quickly and moving with purpose to help them achieve their goals.

I specialize in serving clients across Las Vegas, the Bay Area, and California’s Central Valley. Known for clear communication, honest guidance, and a proactive mindset, I help my clients navigate a fast-moving market with confidence. With expertise in new construction, relocation, and strategic marketing, I ensure every property is positioned for maximum exposure and every buyer is empowered to make informed decisions.

Outside of real estate, I’m passionate about health and endurance training, having competed in marathons, Ironmans, and fitness competitions. I bring that same goal-oriented drive to every deal, pushing to get my clients across the finish line successfully.
