With over 25 years of experience in the hospitality industry, I have built a career centered on exceptional customer service, attention to detail, and creating outstanding client experiences. Two years ago, I transitioned into property management and leasing, helping property owners maximize their investments while assisting tenants in finding the perfect home.

My leasing expertise allows me to connect renters with quality properties and ensure landlords achieve optimal occupancy rates. With a strong background in hospitality, I bring exceptional communication, problem-solving, and service-oriented skills to every client interaction. Whether managing properties, assisting with leasing, or ensuring seamless tenant relations, I always put my clients first.

Beyond my professional work, I enjoy reading, exploring music, and traveling whenever possible. These passions help me stay inspired, continue learning, and connect with people from all walks of life.
