Q: As Vancouver gets a little colder, what activity can you be found doing?

A: Wherever possible, I recommend people have a covered deck with a propane fire pit. I love to sit and relax by the fire with a hot drink on cold nights. I love to do this in the rain. Very cozy! 🌧

Q: What’s one kitchen gadget or appliance you couldn’t live without?

 A:  My air fryer is the best invention I ever met. How does it cook so perfectly EVERY TIME? 

 Q: If someone had never visited Vancouver, where’s the first place you’d bring them?

 A: Walk the trails in the forests of Stanley Park and pop out at 3rd beach, then take the seawall back home. A perfect loop to take in the trees, ocean, city and mountain views. You can have a snack after on Denman near English Bay. Then go on a brewery bike tour through East Van, hit the shopping on Commercial drive or take your dog to New Brighton in Hastings-Sunrise.

Q: What’s one fun fact about you?

A: I live for bad karaoke. I bought a concrete house so I could have big karaoke parties with my friends. Karaoke is not about sounding good, it’s about feeling like a pop star! GO GET IT KIDS! 🎤

Q: What encouraged you to choose a career in real estate/what do you love about your job?

A: My mother convinced me to get my real estate license at 21 because I was always a social butterfly with a knack for home design. While growing up in our big farmhouse, I moved around into each bedroom, completely redesigning it from top to bottom. She would catch me at 10 years old trying to move big furniture around by myself in the middle of the night, completely obsessed with staging the perfect room. 

Q: What’s one tip you can give to someone who is selling their home?

A: Detailed cleaning and good lighting goes a long way! Detail each room and wash your baseboards. It gives an overall feel of good maintenance. Change your light bulbs to match in a soft bright light and stage with stylish lamps in every dark corner.
