I am committed to results and knowledgeable about the real estate process and the support required throughout. I have years of sales experience with a problem-solving attitude and a passion for people and their home buying/selling journey.

Hardworking, trustworthy, and genuine—these qualities define my approach to real estate, a field I've been passionate about for as long as I can remember. My interest began in childhood, manipulating floor plans in my playhouse and later transformed into what some might call an obsession with home renovation and property TV shows. Alongside my husband Steve, we've bought, renovated, and sold several properties, steadily climbing the property ladder. We moved to Tūrangi in 2017, initially seeking a holiday home, but quickly fell in love with the area and made it our permanent residence. Our home, once a diamond in the rough, is now one of the nicest on our street.

Professionally, after over a decade in direct sales and running a bespoke transport business with Steve, I entered real estate as an office manager. This role expanded my interest, especially in the administrative aspects of property transactions, from scriptwriting to marketing. My real estate career is driven by a passion for the process and helping others achieve their homeownership dreams.

Outside of work, I'm usually found outdoors with our dog Poppy, training with the local Boxfit group, or enjoying family time. I support Steve in his volunteer work as a firefighter and we both enjoy hosting international visitors in our home.

If you're seeking a fresh perspective and dedicated assistance in buying or selling a home, I'm here to help. Contact me today for a free appraisal or to discuss real estate strategies.
