As a real estate agent in California, my path to this career has been anything but conventional. My journey has taken me from the kitchens of Kansas City to the vibrant real estate market of California. After graduating with a Culinary Arts Degree from Johnson and Wales in Denver, I embarked on a rewarding journey in the culinary world. I worked my way up to the executive chef, then transitioned into a corporate role, and eventually founded my consultancy firm, RefineUS. This diverse experience has taught me the importance of dedication, adaptability, and client-focused service.
In 2019, I made a significant life change by moving to San Diego. Although I initially continued my work in consultancy, my career took a new direction in 2023., when I entered the real estate industry. This decision was driven by my passion for helping others and my desire to apply my skills in a new arena. Drawing on my experiences in leadership, client service, and strategic planning!
In real estate, I bring my unique background and perspective to the table, offering clients unparalleled service and insight. My approach is grounded in the belief that attention to detail and a deep understanding of client needs are paramount. Whether helping clients find their dream homes or sell their property, I am committed to making the process as smooth and successful as possible.
Living by the philosophy that taking care of the little things leads to achieving bigger goals, I apply this approach in every real estate transaction. Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, staying active through fitness and hiking, and exploring new culinary experiences with my husband (Adam) and our two French bulldogs (Gnocchi & Barolo).
