I began my real estate career with Georgetown Realty, Inc as an assistant to the Managing Broker of our Westside office in 2004. That was almost a year after I came to the United States.
Prior to this, my background in the Philippines where I was born and where I grew up was in government service for six years as a Project Development Officer for a Special Project Management Unit created under the Office of the President. I was employed here from 1997-2003, two months after I obtained my degree in Bachelor of Science in Accountancy from Notre Dame of Dadiangas University at General Santos City, Philippines.
The longer I worked for Georgetown Realty, Inc. as an Office Manager and Transaction Coordinator, the more my passion for real estate intensified. In order to provide a higher level of service to our clientele, I became a Public Notary in 2004 and a Realtor™ in November of 2006. Since then, I have been diligently working with buyers and sellers with my team of Realtors™ in our office.
To give back to the community, I volunteer and support my Filipino community through their numerous fund-raising activities to promote the Filipino culture and heritage. I also volunteer for the Golden Leaf Education Foundation, a non-profit organization that enhances & provides educational opportunities & support for schools and the poorest of the poor in Cambodia, as well as other non-profit organizations which provides free legal clinic to assist newcomers in changing their immigration status from refugees to permanent residents. In addition to this, I also do volunteer work at my church as a lector at least once a month and supports other parishes with their fund-raising activities.
If I am not cooking or savoring the delightful cuisine of the Pacific Northwest with my family and friends, I usually immersed myself in a book during my free time or just bask in the beauty of the Pacific Northwest through hiking and running.
