I've spent more than 20 years helping businesses grow, developing people and learning just how closely the two are connected.

​

Today, as Executive Vice President of RE/MAX Your Community Realty, I help lead our family-run brokerage, supporting more than 1,500 agents across the GTA and Simcoe County.

 

Over the years, my work has involved everything from developing programs and business strategies to supporting our leadership team and finding better ways of doing things. But what has always interested me most is understanding people. What motivates them, what gets in their way, and what they need to succeed.

​

It's also what led me to expand my work beyond real estate.

As a Business Advisor, I work with business owners and leaders who are navigating challenges, opportunities or decisions that would benefit from an outside perspective. I help them better understand the people and dynamics involved, recognize things they may not have considered, and gain a clearer sense of how to move forward.

​

I've come to believe that there's often more to people than even they recognize. We have strengths, interests and abilities that we don't always appreciate or give ourselves permission to explore. And the more we understand ourselves, the better equipped we are to make decisions, build relationships and recognize opportunities that might otherwise pass us by.

​

That belief extends beyond business. I don't think we have to choose between being ambitious about our careers and making room for the other parts of ourselves. We can continue to grow professionally while exploring interests and passions that bring something different to our lives. For me, that includes writing and singing, two things that have become an important part of who I am.

​

And really, that's what Build a Better Business. Build a Bigger Life. means to me. It's about creating success in a way that makes room for more of who we are and what we're capable of becoming.
