I'm not looking for clients, I'm looking for new neighbors. A good neighbor is someone that greets you with a friendly smile when you cross paths, looks out for your property, and lends a hand to help when needed. I want to build the kind of real relationships you have with your neighbors, not just the kind of transactional relationships between an "Agent" and their "Client." To me this means a commitment to service and support that goes beyond what you'd typically expect from your real estate agent. It could be a month, a year, or five years after you bought or sold your house, but if you need help moving a couch, finding a gardener, planning your next island daytrip, or even just someone to talk to, I'll be there to help if I can. Vancouver Island is a big place, made up of a lot of small communities, and I consider all pretty much everything south of Nanaimo and north of the Malahat to be my neighborhood.
I may be new the world of real estate, but I've had a long and successful career in the media and marketing industries. I started my career working in marketing for Telus, then was a co-founder and managing partner at Junction, a digital marketing agency based in Vancouver, where I worked for the better part of the next decade. I then lead a marketing department at The British Columbia Institute of Technology, where I was responsible for the institute's social media and video strategies, and where I managed the institute's multi-million dollar annual advertising budget. Most recently I was the COO & CMO of 75+ person digital content studio in Vancouver, producing content for YouTube, Twitch and TikTok.
I was born in Duncan General Hospital, but grew up in Victoria. My wonderful partner and I decided to move back home to the island in 2022 to be closer to our families, and we now live on her mother's alpaca farm here in beautiful Glenora just outside Duncan. I chose to pursue a career in real estate because I was looking for a fresh challenge, and wanted a profession where I'm able to work face to face with people in my local community, and one where I could leverage the near 20 years of marketing and media expertise I've developed through the course of my former career.
