As a grateful native of Los Angeles, I try to recognize and really take advantage of everything this city has to offer. Catching sunsets, waves, mountain hiking and biking, enjoying the great restaurant/bar and arts scene name a few. Our weather is hard to beat if you enjoy being outdoors as much as I do. The cultural diversity in Los Angeles illustrates how international we genuinely are. Being in Real Estate gives me an opportunity to explore Los Angeles and get to know its residents in a special way. And, the Real Estate business has many more facets which I love such as marketing and customer service. A gratifying sense of accomplishment and satisfaction graces each successful transaction. Whether clients are looking for their first home in which to establish roots or a place to retire (and all the stages in between) my role as fiduciary and counselor is very important and I take that role very seriously. My educational background in Latin American Studies and Business Administration combined with my years in the airline industry have provided me with a global perspective and the opportunity to hone observational, listening, critical thinking and communication skills.
