Get to know the REAL Estate Agent

If your career wasn't in real estate, what would it be?

Outside of my current role, my dream career is to become a firefighter. I'm passionate about community service, teamwork, and making a positive difference in people's lives.

If you could pick – city view or water view?

Honestly, I'd struggle to choose just one. My ideal lifestyle would be the best of both worlds—a top-floor apartment with stunning city views for the energy and excitement of urban living, while spending most of my time at a home overlooking the water, where I can relax and enjoy the peace and scenery.

Character home or contemporary?

I'd have to say a mix of both.

 I love the clean lines, and esthetic of contemporary design, especially in an apartment setting.

For a home, though, I think a character property that has been thoughtfully modernised—preserving its charm and personality while incorporating the comfort and functionality of modern living is really cool!

Favourite thing about your role in real estate?

The people. I enjoy meeting a wide range of clients and building strong relationships with them. I'm results-driven and take great pride in delivering positive outcomes for both owners and tenants. Knowing that I've helped someone protect their investment, manage their home successfully, and have a positive experience throughout the process is one of the most rewarding parts of my role.

If you could invite 5 people (famous or otherwise) around for dinner, who would it be?

Without a doubt, it would be the people I've grown up with from the United States, along with the friends who become family throughout my life. Those are the people whose company I value most, and sharing a meal and great conversation with them would be hard to beat. I'm not easily starstruck! Ordinary people doing extraordinary things impress me most!

Favourite food or cuisine?

My favourite food would have to be wood-fired pizza or a perfectly cooked steak. When it comes to cuisine, I enjoy seafood and steak-focused dining, especially when made with fresh, high-quality ingredients.

Favourite dessert or sweet treat?

I generally try to avoid sweet treats, but when I do indulge, a hazelnut and chocolate combination is always a winner. It's a classic pairing that I find hard to resist.

What are your hobbies outside of work?

Outside of work, I really enjoy spending my time making memories with my daughter, it gives me joy to watch her experience and enjoy life to the fullest.

Outside of work, I enjoy a mix of activities that keep life both active and interesting. This can range from mini golf to trophy truck driving, to Wildcats game, arcade gaming at Archie Brothers, a Hoyts movies, beach days, or relaxed visits to the zoo or weekends at Crown relaxing poolside. I also enjoy getting out to dog parks, spending time outdoors, cafes, and heading on road trips down south to explore new places, with nature being where I feel most at ease.

What would be your last meal on Earth?

It would have to be a perfectly cooked steak, served with creamy mac and cheese and crispy potatoes on the side. Simple, comforting, and hard to beat.

What would be your superpower? 

My superpower would be elemental control.

Favourite café and/or dinner venue in Perth?

I don’t really have just one favourite—there are a few go-to spots I always enjoy around Perth. These include Canteen Pizza, Fisch in Nedlands, Everyday Bread Bakery & Café, Don’s BBQ, West Kitchen, Rusty Fig, Fraser’s, La Patisserie, Nobu, and Willing Coffee or  Grill'd.

I generally gravitate toward places that focus on high-quality food paired with excellent service, or venues that really hold a strong vibe or aesthetic, as that combination makes the experience memorable every time.
