"I've been lucky to call Sanibel Island home since 2004. My husband and I discovered this special place during a cross-country trip, instantly fell in love with it, and within a week, we had purchased a home. We've been rooted here ever since, raising our family and embracing everything this island community has to offer. Originally from the former Czechoslovakia, I earned a B.S. in Human Resources & Economics and a Master's degree in Business Administration from the University of Economics in Bratislava, Slovakia. Before transitioning into real estate, I spent years in senior leadership roles with U.S. multinational corporations, serving as a Senior HR Manager across three European countries and later as a European Operations Manager in management consulting. My passion for real estate came naturally. I've always loved architecture and design-something that was sparked through extensive travel throughout Europe and the U.S. Over the years, I've remodeled several homes and overseen new construction projects for myself, family, and friends. What started as a personal interest has grown into a full-time career that I'm passionate about. I bring to real estate a strong foundation in project and operations management, along with an eye for detail, strong organizational skills, and a commitment to my clients' goals. I enjoy managing complex transactions with focus and efficiency while providing a high level of personal service. I'm proud to be certified as a Resort and Second-Home Property Specialist (RSPS), Sanibel & Captiva Islands Specialist (SCIS), and I hold the C2EX endorsement from the National Association of Realtors-Commitment to Excellence. Since January 2021, I've been serving again as a 3-year Director on the Sanibel & Captiva Islands Association of Realtors Board of Directors. In previous years, I also served on the Communications & PR Committee and the Professional Development Committee, where I enjoyed contributing to the growth and professionalism of our local real estate community. While I specialize in Sanibel and Captiva Islands, I proudly serve buyers and sellers throughout the greater Southwest Florida region, offering deep local knowledge and a personalized approach to each transaction. Outside of work, I stay involved in local community service and volunteer efforts. I'm incredibly grateful to live and work in such a beautiful, close-knit island and regional community-and I'm passionate about helping others find their place here too."
