As a Realtor®, I represent clients tirelessly throughout every transaction. As a people person, I enjoy new connections and developing relationships in an effort to make the journey of buying or selling a home a smooth transition. Having moved frequently throughout my life, I’ve grown to appreciate a Realtor® 's skillful balance of holding their client’s hands while gracefully fighting on their behalf. My East Coast roots make me a natural negotiator, and after almost 20 years of calling the Bay my home, I am proud to be an expert in the area. After graduating from the University of Colorado at Boulder with a BA in studio arts, I moved to San Francisco to continue my education at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. I earned a secondary degree in visual communications, graduating with high honors before my successful corporate career as a designer for the Gymboree Corporation. In 2014 my husband and I purchased our home in Oakland and I switched gears with a new career as the mother of two beautiful girls. In this time I’ve become very involved in my kids’ schools at Temple Sinai in Oakland’s Pill Hill neighborhood and Aurora School in Upper Rockridge. It gives me great joy to marry my life's personal and professional experience as Realtor® with Corcoran Icon Properties. Mastering the art of a smooth transition while perfecting the science of matching the right numbers to deals is my passion. I look forward to making hopes and dreams come true for buyers and sellers in the Bay Area’s ever changing market.
