My History

People often ask me how I got my start in real estate. After all, as a younger agent who has been a Top 100 REALTOR® on Oahu for the past five years, some people assume that I have deep roots on the island or that I had financial help to get to where I am today.

The truth is that my journey hasn’t always been easy, but I’m proud to say that all I have accomplished in my real estate career is thanks to hard work, determination and a desire to provide my clients with the best possible service.

Like many transplants, I came to Hawaii on vacation trip for 20 days only but I fell in love with the beauty of the islands. Although I was only 22 years old, didn’t know a single person in Hawaii, had only $260 and a backpack full of clothing, I knew in my heart that I would make Hawaii my home. I never used my return ticket back to my country.

With no savings and no friends on the islands, I hustled to make a living. I cleaned houses and rode The Bus for hours each day to sell my handmade items at the swap meet. I ate a lot of rice with ketchup and shopped the sale racks at Goodwill. I counted each and every penny, and began to plan for my future.

When I was 24, I decided to earn my real estate license with the intention of one day investing in a small property that I could fix up and flip. It was during one of my real estate classes where I met my mentor, John Connelley—a legend in Oahu real estate and broker in charge at Locations. John believed in me, and encouraged me to become a REALTOR®. I soon joined Locations, and because I had no contacts, I went door-to-door in search of clients. I worked 16-hour days, made hundreds of calls each week and visited every neighborhood and condo building across the island learning the market.

Against all odds, I began to win clients over with my knowledge and work ethic. But even as I began to grow my business, I never once took any client for granted. Because of the hurdles I’ve had to overcome to achieve personal and professional success, I’m able to put myself in my clients’ shoes.

I have not forgotten where I have come from, or how hard I have worked to get here. That same grit that propelled me to succeed when most people would have given up is the same grit that I bring with me to each and every transaction.

I work hard to accomplish my clients’ goals because I know what it’s like to struggle and strive for a home and a secure future. If I could do it, so can my clients!
