It’s never easy to trust somebody with your biggest asset when all you know is what you read on their professional bio. Well, let’s forget about the formal professional profile and let me introduce myself on a more personal basis.
Little Frenchie
Born and raised in Southern France (Marseille, for the more curious ones), I discovered Motueka back in 2010 and have been in love ever since. I chose to settle here and raise my children in this beautiful region because it is a balanced mix of wilderness and civilization; and people who know me well will tell you, I’m all about balance! I find the Nelson Tasman mellow but vibrant, laid-back yet energizing and I’m proud to call the Top of the South my home.
A Working Mum
I have 3 children, Mateo (9) and Valentina (6) who go to Lower Moutere School, and little Leo (4) who goes to Hardy Kids in Motueka. As a family we love walks on the beach, Little Kaiteri is one of our favourite spots to go and hang out in summer.
Pre-Real Estate
Before starting my career in Real Estate, I worked for Skydive Abel Tasman for 6 years where I was Front of House Manager. And before that I have a long history of work in hospitality and retail. I have always enjoyed working with people and I love meeting new people, it is what gets me up in the morning.
A Foodie
I am a real foodie, being french probably helps with that… I looove cooking AND I looove eating! With my mum working in and then owning restaurants in France, I grew up in the hospitality environment and I really do appreciate good food. If you’ve got a recipe you wanna share or challenge me with one, please do!!
Mathematical and Logical
I love numbers, stats, facts, I have a very analytic mind and I love using it! Fun fact, I have a Master degree in Conservation of Biodiversity and Ecosystems, which, put in more simple words is a science degree in biology. Yes, I actually am a qualified scientist as well… Want to know more about what is happening in the current housing market? Ask away, I will be glad to provide you with a full report on sales in your neighbourhood or just talk numbers.
Wrap Up
But, really…, long story short, I am just a simple human. I am very similar to you or your sister or your daughter or your neighbour. I live in Mot, I love Mot and I love the people of Mot! I am on a mission to help people in the Tasman region in their real estate journey, so if you or somebody you know is thinking of selling or buying in the area, get in touch, I don’t bite.
