It all started when…
I was born and raised in Solothurn, Switzerland in a multilingual family where we spent our vacation in my mother’s beach side home in Italy. Here, my deep love for the ocean, nature, people and traveling developed.
I completed my education in the German part of Switzerland after I had spent a year as an exchange student in London, and another year in the French part of Switzerland, Neuchatel.
I spent years studying dentistry, then with a turn of events I turned my attention to the fashion industry and was offered a position as the executive buyer for a major clothing company after only three years. With extensive traveling and research, I opened my own design company with multiple stores that included a showroom in Germany, and production factories in Italy and Brazil.
I was offered a position with a large fashion company from Switzerland in 2000, to develop their New York market, and it was to become my new home.
After the 9/11 developments, the real estate industry called to me. In 2002, adventure called me again and I moved to Maui with fifteen suitcases and an island dream. After getting my Real Estate License in 2002 and working as a Sales Person for a local Company I knew I wanted to become a broker and run my own brokerage, in 2012, I opened my own Real Estate brokerage where I have incorporated all of my skills from international markets, investing, to remodeling, design and staging homes.
As of today, I manage over 60 properties on the island of Maui, spanning from South, Central, Up Country and North Shore Maui. I always wanted to have all aspects of real estate including flipping homes in my repertoire and due to my own experience and connections I have the ability to do so.
I am an accredited staging professional who has proven to improve the value of properties with my knowledge of design and the market
When I am not involved in the many aspects of running a brokerage, selling, staging, and property management I take time, to reconnect with the Aina. I spend most of my free time with the ocean and the land, stand up paddle boarding, and or volunteering with the Maui Humane Society.
