About Me

Experience with a forward-looking perspective.

My career has centered on building trust, developing strategic partnerships, and supporting sustainable business growth. Working with real estate professionals and industry partners has strengthened my ability to listen, communicate, collaborate, and turn relationships into meaningful results.

My Bachelor of Science in Management from Pepperdine University's Graziadio Business School, including a specialization in entrepreneurship, broadened my perspective on strategy, innovation, and organizational performance. Through my ongoing MBA studies in Leadership and Organizational Change, I continue to develop the skills to lead teams, strengthen operations, and support a positive, accountable workplace culture.

I bring together practical business experience, formal management education, and a belief that strong organizations begin with strong people.

Leadership Philosophy

Beyond the Résumé

A little more about me.

Outside of work and my MBA studies, I enjoy exploring new places, spending time outdoors, and sharing everyday adventures with Obi. He keeps me smiling and reminds me to enjoy the moments along the way.
