I'm a brat- the army kind. I grew up traveling the world as the daughter of an Army Helicopter pilot. South Korea, Hawaii, Germany, Colorado, and New York are some of the most memorable places I've lived. I have a great sense of empathy and a deep understanding of the pressures of relocating and starting fresh.
Though moving so often was all I knew, it was still difficult to make friends and feel like I belonged. What got me through the multitude of moves was soccer. I knew the new place we moved to, I would have my soccer team of friends who would understand me and make me feel welcome.
Soccer provided me with many opportunities, including the unique chance to play semi-professionally in Virginia Beach, and then professionally in Germany after college. I lived in the southwest region of Germany for nearly half of my twenties and became fluent in German, wirklich!
After moving back to the US in 2016, I decided to follow in my mom's footsteps and get my real estate license. During that time my parents turned one of their long-term rentals into a short-term vacation rental. They've slowly built a portfolio over time and I've seen firsthand how real estate has changed the trajectory of their lives. Today, I help them remotely manage 7 vacation rentals in Colorado Springs where they retired.
I truly believe in the power of real estate as a way to build generational wealth. I am aggressive in protecting my client's investments and negotiating fiercely on their behalf to reach the best price and terms. I can be a valuable resource to clients interested in investment and rental opportunities.
My wife, Maggie, and I purchased our first home in La Mesa in 2022, just a few days before we got married. We love to travel, especially to places where we can ski . You can find us playing pickleball or beach volleyball, cycling, golfing, stand-up paddle boarding, throwing the frisbee for our border collie, Lanikai, or doing anything that involves making the most of the beautiful coastal San Diego setting. Sadly I've given up soccer, my body said "No more!" We're always on the hunt for a new restaurant or cool place to grab a beer.
Looking forward to helping you navigate the San Diego real estate market.
