Strongest attributes
I am great listener because I know how important this can be not just with my clients, but also with my peer agents and brokers. No matter the situation, the level of stress, I make sure to hear out others. Most people who know me will say I am a positive person. In our business, we need to promote a strong positive attitude for our clients. Given the challenges our clients are facing with a life changing move, and challenging market conditions, I strive to provide a positive force to support them. And I extend this positive, collaborative approach with other agents. Finally, I represent the Realtor brand. Now more than ever, our industry needs strong representation to the market on the value Realtors deliver to our clients. I leverage my strengths in client service, domain expertise, and professionalism to reinforce the value we deliver as Realtors.
Candidate’s definition of leadership
Strong leaders lead from the front through their actions. And they empower others to leverage their strengths for a common objective. There is no leadership without a strong leadership team.
Candidate’s vision
The Canopy Association will continue to be impacted by fallout from industry litigation. The time is now to reinforce the Realtor brand, including the value provided by the Association and Canopy MLS. Technology also continues to be a critical force for Canopy MLS. The user experience for all members and our clients is reliant upon our MLS system. We must ensure our platform provides the best user experience, especially our mobile application. We must maintain an optimal system relative to data integrity, security, and timeliness. Canopy Foundation is such a powerful asset for Canopy, and a key reason I am so attached to our Association. I want to continue to build on the relevance we have created in our area through the Foundation. Our housing challenged community will continue to be impacted by the housing affordability gap. Our Foundation must continue to be creative in how we serve the community, including the non-profit partners. Our Foundation's Innovation Award is a great example of thinking outside the box.

It has been my guiding objective to collaborate with my fellow professionals and ensure equitable treatment for all.
We are facing some very important and impactful changes that will shape the future of our business. I want to represent our association, lead from the front, helping to navigate the changes ahead. My promise to you is that I will strive to serve every member of our association so that your voice is heard, and our interests are represented. I appreciate your vote and support.
