Guided by faith, I'm proud to call Oak Harbor and the greater Pacific Northwest home, a place where my family's legacy is intertwined with the community. Originally from Southern California, I was captivated by Oak Harbor's natural beauty and enduring heritage, a connection strengthened by my uncle's decades of service at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. My father, the son of a Navy sailor and World War II veteran, also shares a lasting bond with the island's spirit, a tradition I am honored to continue. Influenced by my great-grandmother, the daughter of hardworking Balkan immigrants whose perseverance led her to own and manage several homes in California. I carry forward her belief that real estate is far more than a transaction, it's a means of cultivating security, dignity, and generational continuity. It is this conviction that enriches every relationship and client experience I build. With an academic background in political science and economics, I offer an analytical yet empathetic approach to understanding markets, negotiation, and value creation. This foundation has deepened my perspective that real estate not only nurtures prosperous communities and opportunity, but also anchors enduring prosperity and significance. Whether you are seeking your first home, an investment property, or a place to root your legacy, I am committed to guiding you with discernment, integrity, and strategic insight, ensuring every decision moves you closer to both financial and personal fulfillment. Outside of real estate, I find joy in writing, cooking, architecture, and interior design, creative outlets that mirror my appreciation for craftsmanship and harmony. I also love unwinding with a classic film, good coffee, and the company of my cats and dog.
