What’s your personal connection to the neighbourhood?

What are some core values you live by?

I believe in being transparent, kind and acting with integrity. Building trust through honest communication is important to me, and I want clients to feel comfortable coming back whenever they need guidance.

How has your career led you to the role you’re in today?

Studying marketing, business and fashion gave me a strong foundation in communication and understanding people. After shadowing experienced agents, I realised how much I enjoyed real estate and was fortunate to begin building my career at Buxton Bentleigh.

I chose Buxton because of its strong reputation, transparency and culture. Working alongside experienced agents in a high-performing local office is both inspiring and supportive.
