i am a third generation real estate broker with over 100 years of collective family brokerage experience. my grandmother was the first licensed female contractor in California and i grew up in real estate offices, title companies, and developing subdivisions when technology was correction tape in a typewriter - which didn't work on a triplicate purchase agreement. at fifteen years old, i was one of the first employees at an early stage proptech company, where I worked on a DOS database to provide the first iteration of automated tenant screening.

i attended UC San Diego and University of Washington and graduated with a pre-medicine degree and a minor in comparative literature. i love science and writing…
along the way i freelanced as a journalist, taught others how to create medicines out of herbs, and worked in various startups and early stage companies as a co-founder or executive in product and operations. in reflecting back, I recently realized that i never sought these jobs, they sought to add me to the team after meeting me.
most recently i co-founded and sold a venture backed proptech company to a public company, where I worked with the executive and product leadership on the complexities of mortgage in the digitized consumer home ownership journey.
while scaling the startup, i attended UC Berkeley Haas School of Business to study ai - where science and writing (among other things) collide.

i am passionate about technology and innovation solving the problems of bias, equity, sustainability and accessibility in housing.
i believe there is a different mindset about home ownership that is not yet fully realized, and the pandemic powered it with #workfromanywhere flexibility, cost of living and affordability concerns, and quality of life expectations changing not just for younger generations.
