In 2007, I ventured from Seattle to Portland, purchasing a mid-century ranch home and quickly fell in love with Portland-land. My passion for thrift shopping turned into creating a vintage resale business, filling my home with eclectic treasures, and creating a tiki bar in my basement.  Along the way, my love for tropical escapism called, and I become a server at Thatch Tiki Bar, and also a lead server, bartender and management at the famous Trader Vic’s restaurant. I also co-produced the local “Tiki Kon” weekender event for 10+ years held annually in Portland.

During this time, my personal  interest in eventually acquiring rental properties lead me to licensing myself, and my employment in, Property Management. I then decided to level-up my career path and become a licensed broker and Realtor in Oregon in 2018. I knew that all my previous jobs, skills, and accomplishments would fit perfectly into my dream.

I still hold onto the “Keep Portland Weird” mentality and embrace the diversity and adventure of the neighborhoods, people, and communities that this city celebrates. You might catch me at a locally cherished restaurant or lounge, treasure hunting at a vintage mall or thrift store, or rockin’ out at a live venue. You may have even seen me singing in my B-52’s tribute band “The Wanna Be-52’s”

Introduce yourself, It would be a pleasure to meet you!
