Marketing is a perfect profession for someone with a variety of interests and natural abilities—one who is creative, loves to be in front of an audience, has an inquiring mind, a big sense of humor and a pioneering spirit. My favorite part of marketing is getting to know the people I work with and what’s important to them. As a result, their input shapes the development of personalized outreach programs to connect buyers and sellers—the kind that predictably reaps outstanding results in the real estate marketplace.
    Over the past 14 years, I have worked with a team of highly successful Canadian developers at Emerging Markets of North America and over 500 realtors in Northern California—starting at The Mitchell Group in Carmel, then at Sotheby’s International Realty and now at Paragon Real Estate Group. I can confidently say that my marketing experience is far reaching and allows me to wear a variety of hats at work—those of an innovator, a designer, a trainer, a psychologist, a media technologist and sometimes even a miracle worker. It all comes down to listening to clients, defining their needs, reading the marketplace and responding appropriately. Finding a new opportunity or an adventure in each day is what inspires me, especially when there’s such a nice flow of positive, tangible results.
    I have a theory: If I continue to foster great alliances, explore new horizons and utilize my natural abilities, I’ll be contented with my life. That’s probably why I’m not like many others who bring home their work woes at the end of the day. What I do at Paragon is a perfect fit for me...so much so, I might even be smiling in my sleep at night.
