Still taking it in… I’m incredibly thankful and truly honored to receive the Engel & Völkers Community Engagement Award.✨
I was completely surprised,
and honestly speechless,
when my name was called. You can definitely see it in the photo 😅
What makes this moment so meaningful is the team I joined. Engel & Völkers Mercer Island has built a culture that truly prioritizes community, consistently showing up, creating connections, and finding meaningful ways to give back. Being surrounded by people who lead with generosity and integrity has shaped the way I am growing my real estate business.
I’m still early in my journey, but building community, forming real relationships, and showing up for the people around me is exactly how I hope to serve future clients. This award is encouragement to keep going, to keep showing up, and to continue building a business grounded in connection and care.
Here’s to what’s ahead. ❤️
