Real estate isn’t just my career — it’s been a lifelong passion that has shaped who I am and how I serve my clients today.
I was born in Calgary but raised in the UK, where my journey in real estate began earlier than most. At just 19 years old, I purchased my very first home. That early step into homeownership sparked a lasting interest in property, renovation, and the long-term power of real estate as an investment.
From Renovations to Real Estate Strategy
In the UK, I gained hands-on experience renovating properties, learning firsthand how smart improvements can add real value. After earning a degree in Marketing, I made the move back to Calgary in 2006 — a city I’ve proudly called home ever since.
Since returning, I’ve been deeply involved in Calgary’s real estate landscape:
-
Real estate investor and landlord
-
West Calgary homeowner for over 18 years
-
Worked with Calgary real estate developers since 2006 in sales, marketing, and warranty
This behind-the-scenes experience gave me a unique, well-rounded understanding of the market — from how homes are built and marketed, to how they perform long after possession day.
Turning Experience Into Results for Clients
Becoming a Realtor was a natural next step. I wanted to take everything I’d learned — as a homeowner, investor, marketer, and industry professional — and use it to help people make smarter real estate decisions.
That commitment paid off quickly. I was proud to be awarded Rookie of the Year at 2% Realty, and I’ve since earned President’s Platinum Club recognition every single year.
These achievements reflect more than sales numbers — they represent trust, repeat clients, and results.
