About

After growing up in Dundee, Scotland my first career was in healthcare which took me to locations such as London, England, Sydney, Australia and finally Riyadh, Saudi Arabia where I managed a large, multicultural pathology laboratory for over 10 years.  In 1996, after visiting BC a number of times, I decided that I needed a change in both career and residence and settled in Victoria.  Now having been a Realtor for over 19 years, I have found that my skill set is ideally suited to real estate, particularly in terms of patience, flexibility and trust, providing me with the ability to communicate and empathize with people at all levels. I really enjoy working with people and one of the most rewarding aspects of real estate is helping my clients achieve their dream of finding the perfect home. I am committed to providing them with the absolute best in service and what I strive to do is make the process of buying or selling a home as simple, smooth and as trouble-free as possible.

When I'm not working one of my greatest passions is gardening and am continually working on creating a natural haven around my home. I also love nature and can think of nothing better than exploring the wonderful BC countryside with my lovely dog, Connor.

Cheers!
