I was born and raised on the North Shore and Upcountry of Maui. Growing up, the island often felt small, and like many of my friends, I couldn’t wait to leave and see more of the world. That curiosity took me to some incredible places. Everywhere I traveled, people would say, “You’re from Maui?! WHY are you here?” I used to laugh it off, but eventually it made me pause. They were right. Experiencing life elsewhere only deepened my appreciation for Maui, its culture, beauty, and history, and how special it is to have grown up here. This island has my heart, and it will always be my favorite place in the world!

I traded warm beach days for changing seasons and cold winters while attending the University of Colorado in Boulder, where I studied Business Administration and earned a degree in Marketing. After graduating, I moved to Melbourne, Australia (fun fact: I’m a dual citizen). While there, I learned to drive on the other side of the road, traveled to coastal beach towns, avoided becoming a statistic among Australia’s wildlife (!), and, most importantly, spent quality time with my dad’s side of the family, whom I had only met a few times before.

Over the last decade, I’ve lived in Cardiff-by-the-Sea in North County San Diego and in Incline Village in Lake Tahoe. In San Diego, I worked as the Sales and National Accounts Manager for a letterpress company, where I pitched and sold collections of gift cards, stationery, gift wrap, and candles to brands like Anthropologie, HomeGoods, and TJ Maxx. In Tahoe, I worked in real estate sales and as a client representative for a high-end developer where I gained hands-on experience across the full lifecycle of a project - from project management, pre-construction, design, and strategic market positioning post construction. This role shaped how I approach real estate, allowing me to help buyers recognize a property’s full potential and guide sellers in presenting their homes in the best possible light.

In 2024, my fiancé and I bought a home in Haiku, and we’ve been so happy to put down roots on Maui once again! In my free time, you’ll find me working in our yard or garden, taking a Lagree class, playing in the ocean, or walking our sweet dog Reggie, who is my little (but not so little) 90 pound sidekick and real estate assistant. 

 

My clients value my honesty, positivity, clear communication, and “can-do” energy. Buying or selling a home can be an emotional and complex process, and my goal is to provide clarity and confidence by building trust, fostering genuine connections, and supporting clients as they achieve their real estate goals. I believe a home is more than just a place; it’s where your story unfolds, and it’s truly an honor to be part of these meaningful, life changing moments.

I look forward to connecting with you!

With gratitude and aloha,

Zoe
