A little bit about me...
I was born and raised in the small town of Woodside, but moved to Santa Cruz in 2006 to attend UCSC, where I earned my degree in Environmental Studies. Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to build and lead Ocean2Table, a local fresh-food delivery business, which I successfully sold in 2023. The experience of connecting local fishermen, farmers, and artisans with consumers, restaurants, and even national enterprises taught me a lot about strategy, community, and growing a business from the ground up.
Now, I’m excited to bring that same focus, local knowledge, and entrepreneurial drive to my work as a real estate agent at Compass and as part of the Sam Bird-Robinson Real Estate Group. I’ve always been passionate about helping small businesses succeed and building lasting, meaningful relationships, and I carry that passion into every real estate transaction. My goal is to help my clients navigate the market strategically, with an emphasis on making thoughtful decisions that support their long-term goals.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me exploring the outdoors or spending time in the community I’m proud to call home.
