I always wanted to be in real estate in some capacity. I've travelled to many different places and love how building materials and housing styles are influenced by the culture and place you're in, but regardless of what your home looks like or is built from, it represents the same thing everywhere in the world. I started my real estate journey in high school shop class when we made a miniature model house with stick framing and a concrete foundation. At that point, I decided that I was going to become a Carpenter, with the end goal of building homes and doing custom renovations. I worked for Contractors straight out of high school doing home renovations, learning lots and being exposed to many different projects. I purchased a rental property in town- a little bungalow on Metcalfe Street and converted the space into a duplex with the help of my newfound renovation skills. I rented and managed this property for 5 years before selling it in 2021. This was a great experience for me and very eye-opening to the realities of home ownership, working with tenants, and the world of real estate in general. During this time I worked for Fusion Homes constructing new build houses in Guelph. It was great to have that much exposure to the construction process and see the entire process from land surveying to handing the keys to the homeowners. Here I was exposed to the business side of real estate. I saw the intricacies of customer service and the client journey and thought that this would be something exciting and rewarding to learn. I continued working in construction, working on a framing crew for a large barn builder and then a custom home builder in town- both very rewarding experiences. During COVID-19, I decided I wanted a change and moved to Lake Louise, Alberta where I lived and worked at the Lake Louise Ski Resort.  At the resort, I was introduced to my first "customer service" oriented job and loved it. It was very fulfilling seeing the fruits of your labour unfold in real time each day. If you did your job, kept the lodge in good order, and made sure the guests had a great experience, you would see that in how each guest interacted with you. At that point, I decided that I love the construction industry, but I'm passionate about customer service- so I got my Real Estate License. 

I enjoy being able to learn and understand what people are looking for in a home. Being able to help people discover why they may want a certain location or construction style is very fulfilling and something I'm passionate about. I also like seeing the inside of houses- unique construction features, cool art and furniture excite me.

My favourite pastimes are skiing and camping with friends and family. We try to backcountry camp a few times a year and my favourite vacation in the world is skiing. Hit the hill all day, come back to the chalet, have a hot tub, eat dinner, and hang out with friends and family knowing you'll do it all again tomorrow. The most important part is being in good company!

My favourite food is Sushi. My favourite dessert is ice cream.
