There is nothing more important than home and family. It is the place where we arrive after a long day and feel welcomed and safe. I love that I'm able to help with something as important as finding their home. And I love the relationships that I build with my clients. Over the years I've made some amazing friendships, and it brings me such joy to be invited back into the homes I helped them find!

My first “grown-up job” was working in tourism and hospitality, which helped me to see Victoria and the South Island with completely new eyes. My job was to help people fall in love with this city and everything it has to offer. I found that I loved the customer service aspect of tourism, that there was so much joy to be gained from making people feel welcome and giving them useful information about our area. A great opportunity came up to work for a realtor, and I realized that everything I loved about working in the tourism sector - my passion for people and love for this city - could be directly applied to a career in real estate. I loved that I moved from helping visitors find their way around to helping people stay and fall in love with Victoria.

I consider myself to be down-to-earth. I understand how finding the perfect home can be a stressful situation, so I don't believe in pressuring clients to make snap decisions. I am honest, and I don’t mind giving direct advice. We call our brokerage South Island Home Team because we are just that – a team. We rely on each other, and don’t compete with one another, which means we can always put the interests of our clients first.

I was born and raised In Victoria, the West Shore to be exact. I love the beaches, parks and being able to spend time outdoors year-round. Since having a family I'm even more appreciative of all the family friendly activities on the South Island and I'm happy to be able raise my son in this community.

I really enjoy helping first time buyers or sellers because I think I am good at listening to what their main priorities, helping them to be realistic and still get what they want, and reassuring people that they are making the right decisions. As a wife and a mom, I love helping young families to find a home they can grow into with a budget they feel comfortable with. As their family grows, I also love helping them find a new space that fits their changing needs.

As you probably have guessed already, an ideal day off is a day spent with my husband, son and dog - usually a walk on the beach or visit a park and a yummy home cooked meal. If I can squeeze in a few minutes to read a good book before bed, that’s the perfect end to my day.
