I don’t just strive for excellence—I expect it. As a San Diego native with a lifelong connection to real estate, my mission is simple: deliver exceptional results with unmatched professionalism and care. Real estate runs in my blood—my mother spent over 50 years in the business and ranked in the top 1% of agents nationwide. I built on that foundation with a degree in business economics (emphasis in accounting) from UC Santa Barbara, followed by two years at Ernst & Young, where I earned my CPA
