What was your most interesting job before going into real estate?
Opening up and managing different luxury high rises in Houston, like the Carter Montrose.<\/p>\n
Where did you grow up?
Sienna<\/p>\n
Growing up, what did you want to be?
A lawyer, because John Grisham novels were big then and I thought to defend an innocent client was heroic.<\/p>\n
What do you do to relax when you\u2019re stressed?
Anything fitness or outdoors. Lifting, running, biking, yoga, hiking and meditation.<\/p>\n
If you could meet any well-known figure (living or not), who would it be and why?
Socrates because we both like to question to understand the world and learn.<\/p>\n
What is Houston\u2019s best kept secret?
Everyone says diversity and food, and while that is our strength I also love the parks and the interconnected bike trails. You can get from the Heights to Downtown to East Downtown to River Oaks safely all in one day.<\/p>\n
What do you love most about the industry?
That you get what you put in. It allows a person to take real ownership and agency of their success.<\/p>\n
What is the most difficult aspect of your job?
The amount of driving it takes to show homes in a large metro area like Houston. I go where the people are!<\/p>\n
What\u2019s your best advice for generating new leads?
For me, it\u2019s always been referrals and building a brand on social media. It\u2019s cliche, but it works.<\/p>\n
What are you binge-watching\/reading\/listening to?
Everything from the \u201cGame of Thrones\u201d universe. Great storytelling with some brutal lessons of power struggles.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s your favorite meal in Houston?
I have gone through all the culinary scenes and I\u2019m most interested in the complex flavors of Indian food lately. Specifically a meal at Musaafer.<\/p>\n
Architecturally speaking, what is your favorite building in Houston?
I think the Menil Museum building because it was ahead of its time. I also love the timeless Art Deco facade of City Hall.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s the weirdest thing that\u2019s ever happened to you on the job?
Showed a home that had what appeared to be playground equipment indoors. Let\u2019s just say it was not for kids.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s one thing people might be surprised to learn about you?
I have a passion for music. I have been in multiple choirs including a show choir (that means we dance). As well as played the bass clarinet. Music keeps me going every day.<\/p>\n
What is your favorite vacation spot and why?
Lately, Telluride, Colorado. I am really in love with ski resorts and the connection to the mountains.<\/p>\n
In 10 words or less, what is your advice for someone new to the industry?
Don\u2019t compare yourself to others. Find your superpower.<\/p>\n
Who are your favorite people to follow on social media?
Fitness and design influencers. There is so much you can learn that helps me advance my skills. For real estate, I like Atlanta realtor Glennda Baker. There is a true authenticity with her conversations. I also enjoy Barbara Cocoran. I guess I adore strong women.<\/p>\n
