I bring to Real Estate a variety of experience mostly involving customer service in wholesale, retail and social support. I have a genuine interest in understanding people and listening to their needs and wants. I am a keen home renovator, 6 houses so far, with sales experience in the building and hardware trades. As such I understand many practical aspects of home ownership, DIY, materials, lifestyle block care, gardening, can see potential in a property and have a good sense of colour and design. I enjoy getting to know people and the Thames community. I also enjoy being a host mother to Japanese students and Airbnb guests which softens the ‘empty nest syndrome’ as my two children are young adults now. I have lived in New Zealand since I was a child and was born in Kenya, love scuba diving and fishing, pub quiz and bush walking. I am looking forward to being the ‘Gold Star’ that assists you to buy or sell your property with all the professionalism that Harcourts offer.
