What was the first thing you wrote on your to-do list for today?:
The first thing on my to-do list today was make a to-do list. I'm all about staying organized and a little structure goes a long way-especially with a sugar-free Red Bull in hand to give me that extra kick to get things done!
What's the best piece of advice you've ever been given?:
The best piece of advice I've ever been given is, "Be your authentic self because that's who your clients will trust the most." In an industry where relationships are key, I've found that being genuine and transparent with my clients helps build trust and makes every interaction more meaningful.
What is your favorite part about working in real estate in this part of the world?:
My favorite part about working in real estate in Napa is getting to share this one-of-a-kind area with others. Whether it's guiding clients through the vineyards, showcasing stunning homes with breathtaking views, or simply enjoying the community's relaxed yet vibrant lifestyle, Napa offers something special for everyone.
Tell us about a recent challenge you came upon and how you conquered it.:
One of my favorite hobbies is taking Pilates classes, something I've been doing for over 10 years. It's always a challenge, but it serves as a reminder that pushing through discomfort can lead to amazing results.
What role has mentorship played in your career?:
I've found that mentorship is a two-way street-it's about both learning from others and sharing that knowledge to help others succeed.
What's your favorite home design feature that you wish more homes had?:
My favorite home design feature has to be a massive walk-in closet, basically a shopaholic's dream come true! Enough space to hang up every item you own, plus room for that new pair of shoes you definitely don't need but definitely want. It's the perfect spot to hide your shopping habits while adding a touch of luxury to the home.
If you could have dinner with anyone, dead or alive, who would you choose and why?:
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be Gordon Ramsay. Not only would it be an unforgettable meal but maybe I would even get a few cooking tips (hopefully without the shouting)!
Someone is coming to visit Sonoma/Mendocino/SF County. Where should they go first?:
A visit to a Napa Valley vineyard or Sonoma wine tasting room is a perfect first stop. The region's world-class wines and stunning vineyard views make it a great introduction to the area. A couple of my favorites include Domaine Carneros and Del Dotto.
What's something you're looking forward to in the upcoming year? (Wedding, vacation, new opportunity, etc.):
In the upcoming year, I'm really looking forward to expanding my business and taking on new opportunities in the real estate market. Outside of work, I'm also looking forward to taking a much-needed beach vacation to recharge. I believe it's all about finding that perfect balance between personal growth and self-care!
