As a child, I loved being outdoors. I would stay outside for hours, not wanting to miss a moment. Idaho, in particular, offered gorgeous scenery year-round and was a great backdrop for most of my Childhood. I often got into trouble for keeping my little Sister out too late, as I wanted her to be a part of my adventures and explorations.  My family did not have a lot, but we had each other, and we became exceptionally close after making such a big move. When you relocate to another part of the World, where you don’t know anyone, family really becomes your entire support system; you become strong as a collective.  

After 7 years of adapting to our new life in the States, my Dad finished his Ph.D. and made another drastic but positive decision for our Family; he moved us to Canada. The beautiful City of Edmonton has been my Family’s Home ever since. 

As the oldest of 6 children, I am a natural caretaker; I always feel a great responsibility to help others. As I got older, I realized that I am passionate about helping others and making others feel good about themselves. When they say “be the change that you want to see in the World”, I take that personally. I wanted to belong in my new Home of Idaho and eventually my forever Home of Edmonton; helping others feel included makes me feel good and is what I have sought for myself. Inclusivity is a gift that I’m happy to share; with my time, personal experience and now, my Real Estate knowledge.  

I have always felt that I have an artistic side, and this manifested itself into a huge passion for makeup and all things beauty. As an adult, I became a Professional Make-Up Artist, because it allowed me to flex my creative muscles, and I fell in love with seeing people light up over the outcome of looking like their best selves.
