"A home should tell the story of who you are and be a collection of what you love."
I believe the Bay Area is a precious gem—while I love being close to family and friends, I also appreciate the region’s beauty and diversity. I was raised along the Peninsula in South San Francisco by Ukrainian immigrant parents and became an event planner before joining the real estate industry. My passion for events and helping people celebrate special milestones in their lives led me to real estate.
I enjoy helping renovating homes because watching a vision come to life is truly satisfying. Working with Freemodel, I enjoy helping sellers visualize a renovation that will allow them to sell their home for greater value. As an added treat, I can bring joy to new homeowners who won’t have to immediately renovate the property they just bought. To me, that’s the icing on the cake.
In my free time, I enjoy traveling as I have a fondness for experiencing new cultures and food. I am also a dog lover and participate in local pet-oriented events. Whether I'm spending an afternoon at a Giants game or hiking in Pacifica, I enjoy all that the Bay Area—our “precious gem”—has to offer.
