Residential & Commercial Agent

I was born and raised in Vancouver B.C. I started working in real estate in 1999 in residential. I bought my first condo and fell in love with all aspects of real estate. I worked for some of Vancouver's top developers (commercial office spaces, multi-family residential and large scale planned shopping centers in Washington State). I then went to work for Lululemon as a real estate specialist and manager for new markets. My portfolio consisted of all US, Canadian and UK stores during the largest period of store growth & development with Lululemon Athletica and the then 'tween' brand Ivivva Athletica. My job was to scout out new cities ('boots on the ground' as they say), learn about the area and talk to the lululemon 'guest' which was usually by going to yoga, spin classes and seeing what the community reaction to having a lululemon store would be. As you can imagine, everyone wanted a lululemon store! My role consisted of contract negotiations, lease management, forecasting and planning for stores that would be revamped, temp spaces, pop-up stores and community engagement.

I graduated from Kwantlen Polytechnic University majoring in interior design & fashion design in 1997. I owned a success design firm as a 'side job' for 15 years and sold it when we moved to Phoenix. During the 2007 market crash I went back to school at Simon Fraser University majoring in Business Administration and Economics. Moving to Arizona, I enrolled at ASU on a part time basis focusing on Justice Studies with the goal of earning a JD (still ongoing). I am certainly a knowledge-seeker. In 2013 my husband and I decided to make a change and relocate to Arizona.

For clients who are relocating to the valley, I put myself in their shoes and recall what it was like moving to a new city, not knowing anyone, where to find great restaurants, schools, relocation services (movers, utilities set up, cleaners, remodel contractors etc).

Overall I can't say enough about how living in Arizona has changed our life for the better. Nothing beats the lifestyle of living here. Waking up to bright blue skies daily really does wonders! And, with Sedona, Flagstaff, Las Vegas, Rocky Point, San Diego/LA/Palm Springs all just a few hours away, Phoenix is the perfect place to live. Outside of work I am an avid golfer, I love to cook and spend time with my husband and our furbaby Maverick.
