THE INSIGHTS
Where did you grow up?
Born and raised in Mississauga, ON.
Where do you live now? And what neighbourhood (in Canada, or worldwide) would you love to live in (that isn’t your own)?
I now call Napanee home, and I love the charm of small-town living with easy access to nature. As for dream locations, I’d love to experience Vancouver’s stunning views and relaxed vibe.
How did you end up becoming a real estate agent?
Real estate found me after I experienced the buying and selling process myself. My love for home design and people’s stories led me here—helping clients through life’s big moments like growing families or downsizing is a true joy!
In a few sentences, describe what a typical “day in the life” looks like for you. Does this align with what you expected before you became an agent?
My days are a mix of research, connecting with clients, and staying on top of market trends. It’s even better than I expected—every day brings something new and exciting!
What’s the single best advice you have for sellers?
Price your home right and make sure it’s staged to highlight its best features—first impressions are everything!
What’s the single best advice you have for buyers?
Always get pre-approved, and don’t skip the home inspection. It’s key to feeling confident in your investment!
What made you choose to work for your current brokerage?
I chose my brokerage for its amazing support and the freedom to truly prioritize my clients’ needs.
Who do you believe is making the biggest waves in the industry today? Is there anyone you recommend people should be paying attention to right now?
The trailblazers embracing innovative tech and a client-first mentality are the ones making waves—these are the voices we should all be paying attention to.
What is one professional goal you have for the next year? What’s one that you have for the next 10 years?
This year, I want to grow my client base, and in the next 10 years, I’d love to expand my reach even further.
Tell us about your favourite (or most memorable) sale, and why it stands out to you.
One of my most memorable sales was helping first-time buyers purchase their dream home as they were expecting a new addition to the family. Their excitement for the new memories to come was contagious!
What are the three words you hope your clients use to describe you?
Fun. Knowledgeable. Always ready to help!
