About Me
 Raised between Maui, Hawai‘i and California, I’ve always been fueled by creativity and a strong work ethic. My career began in marketing, where I honed my skills as a creative strategist before transitioning into real estate. A year and a half ago, I joined Blackmore Group, where I’ve had the privilege of learning under the mentorship of Ashley Blackmore. Her guidance has shaped my role today in Marketing, Public Relations, Strategy—and most importantly, in specializing on the buyers’ side of real estate.

My passion lies in helping people find the right property to call home. I take a personal, hands-on approach with every buyer, going beyond just searching for homes. From curating properties that align with lifestyle needs to crafting creative strategies that strengthen offers in a competitive market, I ensure my clients feel supported and confident every step of the way.

Working alongside Ashley, I bring a fresh, creative perspective to the buyers’ side of transactions. I believe finding the right home is more than a checklist—it’s about discovering a space that fits a client’s story and future. That’s why I focus on pairing strategy with creativity, giving buyers an edge in negotiations and helping them see the potential in each property.

Outside of real estate, I live life to the fullest. I race downhill bikes, ride dirt bikes, surf, ski (and love teaching kids to freeski), and spend as much time as I can with my horses. Being outdoors is where I thrive, and that same drive and energy carries into how I serve my clients—determined, proactive, and passionate about results.

By combining modern technology with mentorship from one of the best in the business, I’ve built a strong foundation for success early in my career. My goal is simple: to help every buyer I work with feel empowered, informed, and excited as they step into their next chapter.
