There’s nothing more rewarding than a happy client. I’m so thankful that I get to spend my days working in real estate with great people. Whether it’s finding them a dream home or selling their house for a big profit, it’s so enjoyable that it’s really not work.

I was born and raised in Toronto and never left except to travel. After graduating from U of T, I worked for a major airline for 15 years, in various management positions. My next move was to American Express Canada as a Senior Sales Representative responsible for enterprise accounts in Toronto. Working in the travel industry gave me the opportunity to develop my sales and business skills and experience different cultures. In spite of promotions, incentives and compensation, I came to the realization that corporate life was no longer for me and obtained my real estate licence in 1997. I’ve never looked back.

Clients and colleagues tell me I have boundless energy and when I’m not working in real estate, I enjoy road biking, CrossFit and swimming at the Granite Club. Cycling has allowed me to explore all parts of Toronto, from Swansea and the Kingsway to Scarborough Bluffs and the Beach. I’m amazed at how many beautiful parks, trails, rivers, lakes and beaches we have. Toronto is truly a great place to call home.
