Born in Pennsylvania, but consider myself a California transplant as I have lived in Orange County since age 2. I grew up in the city of Orange and graduated from Villa Park High School upon which I attended California State University, Fullerton. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Finance, Cum Laude, with an emphasis in Corporate and International Financial Management. The core of my studies revolved around evaluating financial statements, analyzing cash flows, and triangulating firm valuation for the purposes of mergers and acquisitions. After starting a family of my own, I decided to put my finance degree to work and obtain my Real Estate License. I love the flexibility and the excitement of being in real estate sales and investing. The transition from my financial background has been a great asset for me in properly valuing real estate assets and being able to present what a property (or potential property) is worth. As an acquisitions associate, I am able to bring my 10+ year market knowledge to find off-market properties as well as procure deals and offers to our partner agents and investors.
