I have always been interested in property even as a young girl I would walk along a corridor and try to peek inside to see how the apartment looked. I have a degree social worker and worked in that industry for a couple of years while trying to raise my young son and found that he was being raised by a nanny due to work obligations. I went onto to join the travel and tourism industry and ran my own agency for around 7 years this was at a time when the industry started to change and people were able to book their own flights and packages directly and I decided to close the business and become a stay at home mom to my two sons.
When my youngest son was old enough to I joined the property industry that was twenty years ago and have since been in the industry in one form or the other from and estate agent (property practitioner) to property development, property management to running and owning my own rental agency for more than ten years. I love what I do and am very passionate about the industry and all the changes. Here's to another 20 years.......
