I was born in Vietnam just three months before the end of the Vietnam War after my dad, who’s from New Jersey, met my mom in Saigon. My childhood included time living in Saudi Arabia before my family eventually settled in Northern California, and I’ve always considered myself a California native at heart. I moved to Los Angeles in 2008 and earned a Master’s degree in Visual Communication from San Francisco State. Before real estate, I spent nearly 15 years running my own freelance design studio, which still shapes the way I approach homes, design, and helping clients see the potential in a property.

My journey into real estate really began with my own experience trying to buy a home in Los Angeles. My husband and I spent years saving for a down payment and were outbid on four homes before finally purchasing our 1931 Spanish bungalow in Atwater Village in 2013. Renovating and designing that home—along with later purchasing and transforming a mid-century desert cabin near Joshua Tree into a vacation rental—deepened my love of architecture, design, and real estate investing.

Today I combine my design background and personal experience as a homeowner and investor to help clients navigate the market with confidence. My goal is always to make people feel informed, supported, and excited about what’s possible for them. Buying or selling a home can be emotional and complex, but I believe with the right guidance it can also be one of the most rewarding experiences there is.
