Home is so much more than just a place - it’s a feeling of belonging. For me, that feeling came to life on the Westside of Los Angeles.

Originally from Germany, I moved to LA in 2015 after graduating with a degree in Business. What started as a little adventure by the beach in Santa Monica quickly turned into a fulfilling career and a place that truly feels like home. I began my real estate journey as an executive assistant to a top-producing agent, managing over $150 million in annual sales. That experience gave me an invaluable foundation — from mastering the details of complex transactions to understanding what exceptional service really means.

In 2020, I took the leap to become an agent myself and build my own business with Compass. Since then, I’ve helped my clients buy and sell over $60 million worth of real estate across Los Angeles. Whether it’s guiding first-time buyers, helping families upsize, or consulting seasoned investors, I approach every transaction with honesty, care, and a commitment to making the process as smooth and rewarding as possible.

Having lived in different countries and cities, I know firsthand how powerful it is to find the right home - a space that just feels right. That’s what inspires me to help others do the same here in one of the most beautiful and dynamic places in the world.

Giving back is also a big part of my life. As a NextGen Board Member for Safe Place for Youth, I volunteer regularly at their Venice facility, and every time I help a client buy or sell a home, a portion of my commission goes to Home For A Home, a nonprofit that builds family homes in Guatemala.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me exploring LA’s hiking trails and beaches, trying new restaurants, or spending time with my dog, friends, and family.
