### Personal Background

Born in Berkeley to a musician and educator who later became a Realtor, this agent grew up in a vibrant neighborhood where community and play were integral to daily life. In 1979, their family transitioned from a rental to a fixer-upper in Oakland, a journey that involved creative problem-solving and collaboration.

In 1999, as a young mother, they purchased a mid-century fixer-upper in Redwood Heights, drawn to its ideal location and architectural style, which echoed their family’s history.

Transitioning from the restaurant industry to real estate in 2004, they embraced the family business with a commitment to hard work and innovative thinking, starting with no leads but a strong service-oriented philosophy.

Beyond real estate, they cherish family time, music, and dancing, often reminiscing about kitchen dance parties with their children.
