I was born and raised in Santa Cruz and consider myself very lucky to be a native Santa Cruzian. I grew up in Live oak which was mostly open land surrounding the few culde-sacs at the time. I remember the days of riding my cruiser to the beach with my friends on the handlebars, playing night tag and community BBQ s. I have watched the community grow and evolve from north to south county and truly value all that it has to offer. I went to college and graduated from San Jose State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Acting and Communications. About this time is when I started to make my love for acting my professional choice. Following in the footsteps of the entertainers in my family I started working on movies, television and theater, in which I am still currently involved. My love for travel started at 18 when I decided to see what my country had to offer, and to this day I have visited nearly 20 states. Over the course of my travels I realized my love and great interest for real estate. I have seen how the architecture and industry differs from state to state and city to city and I can tell you that Santa Cruz definitely is one of a kind My career in real estate started about 5 years ago in appraisal management, where I gained vast foundational knowledge regarding the inner-workings of the real estate industry, where homes derive their value, and how to provide insight in setting an appropriate list price. This knowledge in combination with my background in public speaking and thirst for being around people I realized that sales in real estate is where I was meant to be. I bring my spunk for life, my confidence in negotiating, skillful communication, my passion for the industry and my affinity for human interaction into my practice on a daily basis. All of these things allow me to surpass expectations when entering into and completing a transaction. I pride myself in how I conduct my business and how I remain an honest, committed and loyal individual. #01974242
