Dear "Gentle" Readers:
Properties were never my object of interest. From the age of 5, I have been passionate about art, theatre, ancient history, wild animals, travel, and food - oh, how I love food!
I dreamed of becoming an artist, actress, archaeologist, or veterinarian, or perhaps a businesswoman who travels the world exploring different cuisines. However, as many of you know, life often takes unexpected turns while we're busy making plans. I came to London to study, met a man, fell in love, and discovered that he was involved in the property business long before we met.
He introduced me to the industry, and that's how I became involved.
Life Before Property: My early life was a vibrant tapestry of creative and adventurous pursuits. From painting to performing in school plays, exploring ancient ruins, caring for animals, and savoring exotic foods, I enthusiastically explored my diverse interests. Each passion presented a potential career path, and I reveled in every opportunity to delve deeper into these worlds, immersing myself in the joy and fulfillment that came with pursuing my passions.
The Unexpected Turn: Discovering Property Management Moving to London for my studies was a dream come true.
Little did I know, it would also lead to a major shift in my career aspirations.
Meeting my partner was a pivotal moment. He was deeply entrenched in the property business, a field I knew little about. His passion for property management and his vision for the future of the business intrigued me. Slowly, I found myself drawn into this new world.
