'Home is not the place where you happen to be born. It's the place where you become yourself" -  Pico Iyer

I was born and raised in Namibia, the place I call ‘home’ where I learned from a young age to be independent and to treat others with respect, care, dignity and fairness. This is where I developed my passion for nature, animals, the energy of water and connection with people from different cultures.

Early in my career I started lecturing at the University of Stellenbosch to graduate and post-graduate students in Industrial Psychology and Industrial Relations. For the last 28 years I have been an independent consultant, a Coach and EQ practitioner working on all levels in organisations, nationally and internationally. My lingering attraction to Real Estate led to me running my own RE agency part-time in Namibia before joining eXp Realty.

I believe that my experience and exposure will benefit me in delivering a professional service to all my future clients and in partnering with you on this journey, I commit to a relationship on trust, integrity, and understanding your needs and expectations.
I love getting to know people better, spending time with my family and friends and long-term relationships mean a lot to me. When having free time, I enjoy the outdoors, scuba diving, camping in the wilderness areas of Africa and photography.
