Although I grew up in Switzerland and Singapore, I found myself following in my family’s footsteps by attending the University of Guelph.
After completing my degree in Human Kinetics, I was presented with an opportunity to join a friend in the world of construction. It was on job sites where I learned about all that went into building new houses, in landscaping that I learned that any old space can be transformed into a dream oasis, and in renovations where I gained my keen eye for seeking out the potential any property has to offer. While my parents remained abroad, I was lucky that we had a rental property here in the city, of which I became the property manager. This, combined with my experience in construction sparked my passion for real estate.
Working in construction, albeit gruelling, taught me a lot. It taught me how to consistently deliver on the expectations of others. It taught me that working with people and putting in the effort of understanding everyone is always worth it. And finally, it reinforced my sense of perseverance and determination – you see, to create someone’s dream home, sometimes you have to be the first one on site and the last one to leave. These are all values that I also carry as a Realtor®.
My absolute favourite thing to do is travel, and I can say that I have been lucky enough to both visit and live in countries all over the world. With this experience, I have gained a true appreciation of people and the world we live in. But most importantly, I have come to understand the true value of being able to turn any house into a home. Together, we can find yours!
