About Me

A Berkeley native who loves this community

I grew up in Berkeley and have watched this city evolve — from the vibrant shops along Shattuck to the quiet residential streets of North Berkeley. That deep connection is what I bring to every client relationship.

Whether you're a first-time buyer navigating the East Bay market, a seller looking to get top dollar, or a renter searching for the perfect apartment near UC Berkeley — I'm here to make the process clear, confident, and even enjoyable.
