My Background

After earning my degree in East Asian Studies at UC Santa Cruz, I initially planned for law school — but my career path shifted when I fell in love with the culture, landscapes, and lifestyle of the Monterey Bay. Since 2004, I have successfully navigated every market cycle, building a career defined by consistency, strategy, and client advocacy.

Living the Lifestyle I Sell

Outside of real estate, I am passionate about the Santa Cruz–Monterey lifestyle. You can often find me playing competitive beach volleyball along the shoreline or enjoying the vibrant coastal community I proudly represent.
