I was born and raised in Brazil in a Japanese household, where I learned the value of family, discipline, and hard work. My career began in dentistry, where I owned and operated my own practice. That experience taught me how to care deeply for people, listen attentively, and always give my best.

After moving to the United States with my family, I dedicated several years to raising my family and supporting my local community. I volunteered in youth sports and was actively involved at Skyline High School in Sammamish, helping with athletic programs and the International Baccalaureate curriculum. Once my kids began their own journeys in college, I started tutoring English for Brazilian students, from young children to business professionals and doctors. It was a beautiful way to stay connected to my culture and help others grow.

Real estate felt like a natural next chapter. I’ve experienced what it’s like to move across the world and start over, and I know how important it is to have someone you trust by your side during big transitions. Whether my clients are buying their first home or selling one full of memories, I bring patience, perspective, and a steady hand to guide them through the process.
