What was your first job in the realty industry? I worked as a Realtor for Suncoast Beach Realty in Miami Beach.

Where did you grow up? I was born in N.Y.C. and moved to Miami when I was 3-years-old.

What do you do to relax when you’re stressed? I love to hang out with my husband and children, doing anything as long as we’re together. I also love to browse Pinterest for homes, home décor, architecture and entertaining ideas.

Growing up, what did you want to be? I wanted to be an architect or interior designer. I went another route and have a Master’s degree in education, but eventually I made it back to my true loves – homes, design and real estate.

If you could have lunch with a well-known figure (living or not), who would it be and why? I think I would enjoy having lunch with Donald Trump.

Where is your favorite place to hang out? Anywhere my family is. I love being at home in Miami or in Key Largo together, with or without friends as long as we are all there.

What do you love most about the industry? I love the challenge of negotiating and getting the best deal for my clients. I love my career. I love that every day is different and exciting. Mostly I love the satisfaction of coming through for my clients and of helping them achieve their dreams.

I am always learning about my industry and trying to be the best I can be.

What is the most difficult aspect of your job? The lack of inventory is sometimes stressful…so if anybody out there would like to help by adding inventory to the market, call me, I’d be happy to list your home and find you a buyer!

Where do you go to network and meet new clients? I network everywhere. At the dentist’s office, at my children’s schools. at church, when I am traveling…anywhere and everywhere!

What has been your greatest accomplishment? I would have to say my greatest accomplishment is my family and having the life I always dreamed of.
