I’m a licensed REALTOR® in Florida and Illinois with over 20 years in real estate, from residential sales to investment properties and short-term rentals. I founded Soliance Retreats to run rentals with a focus on design, guest experience, and revenue. I’ve also spent 15+ years in hospital critical care as a respiratory therapist and team leader. With a Master’s in Data Science, I use data and AI to help clients and properties perform better.
