Giving to the community…

I have a passion for food and know how many people on this planet of ours go without it. I drive my husband crazy the way I conserve food in our own home.  So, I will be volunteering my time to help Meals On Wheels delivering food to local residents in need.  I am truly looking forward to making sure no one goes without a meal. 

I have also sponsored two community websites which will include local information, events, and links to other great information.  Please take a look if you are from either of these two areas and/or surrounding areas.

Why a career in real estate…

I choose real estate because it offers me freedom to work my own schedule and hours.  My favorite part about the job is the idea of helping people find a home.  A home for them to share their lives with someone they love, take pleasure in their free time, raise a family, enjoy home cooked meals, relax in a warm bath. 

My background…

I was born and raised in Los Angeles and have lived in around the area most of my life except for a summer which I lived on Santorini Island, Greece where I managed a quaint bed and breakfast.

I have over 15 years of sales/marketing experience in various industries including the film business, hospitality and architecture and engineering. Most recently with the architecture/engineering firm DMJM with offices worldwide.  Prior to DMJM, with a number of bed and breakfasts and hotels; Four Seasons Hotels and the Georgian Hotel in the Los Angeles area.

Currently…

My husband and I just purchased a villa named Villa Violeta, near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico which we rent out.  For more information on the villa go to:  www.mexicanhideaways.com

I am currently living the Malibu lifestyle with my husband Parker, and our 3 year old Jack Russell Terrier, Leopold.    

Take action…

What would it hurt to give me the chance to help you sell the home you currently own or find you a new one?
