I always knew growing up that I wanted to have a profession that I could help people in one way or another. Switching careers from the construction industry to becoming a Realtor was more than a natural transition, as I always loved socializing with people and have always put a conscious effort into making people feel good.

When I decided to make the career change, I continually would get the same response from everyone I told about my potential change to become a Realtor, which was “I would definitely hire you, I would trust you.” I heard this repeatedly. This not only assured me that I was making the right decision to change paths, but it also showed me that everyone’s biggest concern with hiring an agent was trust. This was a big eye-opener for me, and it showed me that people want to not only know that you are competent & hard-working, they also want to know that you really do care about them as an individual.

I can say with confidence that my clients without a doubt feel that I not only care about being meticulous about every aspect of the transaction to assure they get the best possible outcome but that I genuinely care about them as people and about all the emotions and concerns that go along with buying or selling a home. I love that I can help people and at the same time turn what can be a stressful experience into something positive and exciting for my clients.

In 2013 I moved to Ottawa from England to further my career in professional squash. After running two successful programs at the Ottawa Athletic Club and The Arbutus Club in Vancouver I moved back to Ottawa in January 2020 and decided to pursue a career in Real Estate.

Real Estate is something I have always been passionate about and after purchasing a couple of investment properties myself, I decided it was something I would love to help other people achieve.

Working in a client facing environment over the years has taught me critical skills in problem solving and working through emotionally heightening and sensitive situations that can also be linked to buying and selling Real Estate.

Always going above and beyond in my role is something I don’t necessarily pride myself on, its something I feel should be expected on a day to day basis. Since I moved to Canada from England, buying and selling myself has been one of the most nerve racking experiences I have had, and I can promise all of my clients and customers that I will absolutely and unequivocally have your back and help you through every step of the way.

I was humbled recently by a client of mine. They said that former teachers make excellent realtors and they were confident they were in good hands. I loved this and it resonated with me! I am hardworking, patient and genuinely caring. This is necessary as an educator and I feel this saying reinforces what I practice in my ethics, my values and what I always strive to achieve in all that I do.

Having worked as a high school teacher for 15 years in Ottawa before becoming a professionally trained realtor, I am able to leverage the qualities I gained in education, as well as my strong communication skills, vivacious spirit and sheer determination, to provide the best buying and selling experiences for my clients. And don’t be surprised if I throw in a couple analogies along the way to illustrate real estate concepts with a little pizzazz.

All paths lead to Rome, or in my case, Real Estate. As a teenager, I loved going for runs in the nearby Rothwell Heights neighbourhood in Ottawa’s East end. I enjoyed taking in the diverse and impressive architecture of the community’s custom built homes. As a young professional, I appreciated the financial advantage of being a property owner. Then as a landlord, I loved the excitement of managing my own investment properties, including listing for rent and qualifying our own tenants. I guess you could say that Real Estate chose me and I’m so glad that it did. Now as a fully trained real estate agent, I am delighted to be helping my friends, family, neighbours and clients buy, sell and invest in real estate to meet their own property goals.

Born and raised in Ottawa, I know the city inside and out and all that its various neighbourhoods have to offer. After returning to Ottawa following my undergraduate degree at the University of Waterloo and having travelled to many beautiful cities across the world, Ottawa still tops the list of best places to live. I am grateful to be raising my family in this great city that I call home.

Growing up, my father, an engineer through and through, always taught me to take a careful look to really figure out how something worked before tackling a challenge; be it changing a tire, doing a home reno, or investing my finances. I was taught to do things right and to do them well! I love applying this thoroughness and attention to detail to everything I do. This lesson has proved invaluable in my real estate work as I carefully consider all aspects of each home purchase and sale and effectively protect my clients.

When I’m not working, I love spending time with my wonderful husband and our three adventurous children. I also enjoy training for triathlons and skiing in the Gatineau Hills. Another passion of mine includes helping newcomers to Canada get acquainted with all our amazing city has to offer and to help them feel welcome in our neighbourhood.

Integrity, thoroughness and dedication are at the centre of who I am. That shines through in everything that I do for my real estate clients.

What’s your next real estate move? Together, let’s make it a great one!

I am the boss’s wife and mother of our two beautiful girls, Willow and Aspen. I have a diploma in Interior Design from Algonquin College and have had a career in the government doing office accommodations, facilities and project management involving space planning, office furniture acquisitions, small construction projects, employee moves of hundreds of people etc. for over 11 years. I had a role in implementing new workspace solutions for Treasury Board that reduced cost and space envelope that consolidated their 11 buildings to 2 (Workspace 2.0).

My mother has had multiple sclerosis for over 40 years which influenced me to look at space differently, always seeing it with an accessibility and innovative perspective, which is why I got into design in the first place. My father is a mechanic and he was also a crane and tower crane operator based in Cornwall and has done multiple projects in surrounding areas including Ottawa such as the University of Ottawa. He built the houses that I grew up in which began the love of housing, the design and construction industry.

I took a leave of absence from my job in the government in 2016 to raise the girls, but now that the little one will be starting school in September I was so ready to get back to work this year and be with adults! I am a very social person and have always had a passion for customer service. I love meeting people and getting to learn their stories which is why I was very interested in working with Jason and his team as they affect people’s lives directly. I love being a part of a dynamic team that is based on helping people with some of the biggest decisions that they will make in their lives!

In the past, on the side, I have had multiple creative side businesses such as a sewing business, Miss Mac Creations as well as a children’s and youth entertainment company. Naturally, it has been an easy transition to be in the creative field of Social Media and Marketing. I love creating designs and coming up with creative ways to market our company that I am so proud to support. I am making the transition from the client (yep that’s right, I met Jason as my realtor), wife, mother of our children and now employee!

I have lived in Barrhaven since 2006 and have never looked back. I absolutely love this community and am so happy to be raising our family here! Since I was raised bilingual in Cornwall, our kids go to Pierre-Elliot Trudeau school where I am part of the teacher-parent association to help in any way that I can.

I have been involved in the sale of residential real estate since 2004​​,​ including resale, ​​new home sales as well the acquisition of investment property both personally and for investor clients. I ​have​ own​ed​ and operated a property management company ​which allowed me to understand the unique needs of my investor clients. I pride myself in my attention to detail. Whether you are looking to buy or sell, I will first listen and understand your needs before setting out to make sure that those needs are met.

​​To better serve my clients, I am constantly upgrading my skills by returning to the classroom. I have completed many courses allowing me to better serve my clients, including Principles of Property Management, Principles of Mortgage Finance, Real Property Law, Win-Win Negotiating, Buyer Representation, the Professional Real Estate Brokers course and most recently I completed the MCNE – Master Certified Negotiation Expert course.​​ ​I am a member of the Ottawa Real Estate Board, the Ontario Real Estate Association, the Canadian Real Estate Association.

With a passion for service across Ottawa, I am equipped to help you with your real estate buying and selling needs. As a proud member of the MacDonald Property Group, I carry the values of hard work, integrity, and outstanding client service into everything I do.​ ​My enthusiastic, can-do attitude and personable nature is ideal for identifying each client’s desire and skillfully guiding them to fulfill their real estate goals. I understand and appreciate the many unique benefits of living in The Capital with its unmatched beauty, culture, and family friendly activities.​

Whether you’re selling or buying a home, I am the kind of Realtor® who you can always depend on. I love to connect with people on a deep level and go above and beyond for my clients, to ensure success and that they get what they want. What clients will love most about me is my low-pressure approach with them, yet tenacious demeanor on their behalf and my commitment from the beginning to the end of the transaction and beyond, and lastly, my ability to not just listen but to comprehend what the client wants to accomplish.
