Real estate has always been more than a business for me—it’s personal. I’ve lived in cities and by the ocean, renovated homes, built new ones, invested in properties, and helped others do the same. What draws me to real estate is what it represents: change, growth, opportunity, and the chance to create something meaningful—whether that’s a forever home or a smart investment.


Before I stepped into real estate full time, I spent years in the financial markets, working with complex transactions, high-stakes strategies, and international teams. That experience taught me how to manage pressure, think analytically, and communicate clearly—skills that now help my clients feel confident in every real estate decision they make.


Today, I’m a licensed real estate advisor with Engel & Völkers in both Chicago and Costa Rica. I work with clients across both markets—whether they’re relocating, investing, downsizing, or just ready for something new. I understand the financial side of a deal, but I also know how emotional and personal buying or selling a property can be. That’s where I come in.
 

My role is to help you make smart decisions, feel supported throughout the process, and walk away with something that makes sense for your life—not just your portfolio. I value honesty, efficiency, and long-term thinking. Whether we’re talking about a beach house in Guanacaste or a brownstone in Chicago, I’ll bring global reach, local knowledge, and a steady hand to every step of the journey.


When I’m not working, I’m usually behind a camera, hiking with my dogs, or connecting with people who inspire me. I believe home is more than a place—it’s a feeling. And it’s my job to help you find it.
