"Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something and it seemed obvious to them after a while." ~ Steve Jobs

I thrive in the excitement of creating something new. This often manifests in developing novel solutions to clients’ problems. To me, the process of problem solving is as rewarding as the end result. I am always eager to work late into the night chasing a new idea. I am passionate about absorbing as much of the information around me as possible. Every day represents an incredible opportunity to learn, develop and try something new.

I was born and raised in San Francisco's Miraloma neighborhood. I studied business at Stockton's University of the Pacific before working a number of years in small business marketing and software. After working in Real Estate behind the scenes part time for years with my mother's Coldwell Banker team, I acquired my Realtor® license in 2018 and joined Compass. Compass was a perfect fit for me with a strong support system and cutting edge Real Estate technology tools. Coming from the software field, Compass immediately felt like home.

Now working with John Solaegui’s Haven Group team as the Operations Manager, I am able to solve core problems of buyers and sellers. Helping people achieve their home goals is incredibly rewarding. Being a part of individuals’ and families’ life changing moments keeps me focused and working hard every day.

When not working with buyers and sellers, I spend my time with my Shiba Inu named Kobondo, my cat named Bear and of course my partner Jessica. I also love cooking, working on sports cars and playing shooting guard for my basketball team.
