My 
Hometown
Behind every real estate agent is 
a hometown story. From family 
traditions to favorite childhood 
memories, their backgrounds reveal 
the experiences that shaped their 
lives and their connection to our 
community.
I’m from Pittsburgh, Penn.
Growing up in Pittsburgh’s Squirrel Hill neighborhood 
gave me an appreciation for family, community, walkable 
streets and vibrant local businesses. Looking back, it’s easy 
to see how that environment sparked my appreciation for 
architecture and older homes. I spent much of my childhood 
taking art and ballet classes, attending Hebrew school and 
exploring museums, while learning to cook from the women 
in my family. The freedom to get around on foot or by bus 
taught me independence at an early age. Those experiences 
shaped what I value most and led me to seek out a community 
like SOMA to call home.
