A LIttle bit about me…

Hello! I’m an entrepreneur with a long list of titles: Real Estate Broker, Sommelier, Business Owner, Mama. I specialize in Residential Sales and Relocation. I have over 14 years of experience in real estate, and my real estate company, Good Fortune Realty, is based right here on the Coast. I’m a certified Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR) and a Resort and Second Property Specialist (RSPS). I also own and operate Peter Pan Market & Deli in Astoria, where I put my WSET 2 Certification to use as the wine curator and wine club manager. I’m currently serving as President of the Clatsop Association of Realtors. I’m a mom to two teenagers and a Border Collie-Corgi mix.

I created Live Oregon Coast as both a lifestyle blog and as a real estate resource - showcasing coastal living from a local’s perspective through food, wine, adventures, and homes. The Oregon Coast lifestyle is a beautiful, well-rounded way of life that’s comprised of good food, cozy homes, and the landscape that surrounds us. I love hiking the Coast Range with my dog, paddle boarding on the rivers and in the ocean, soaking up the sun on the beaches in the summer, and bringing home fresh caught seafood for dinner. I truly enjoy sharing all the things that I love about this place I call home.

I was born in Honolulu and raised in Puna on the Big Island of Hawai’i. I am Kanaka O’iwi, and my Hawaiian roots heavily influence the way I see the world and live my life. I moved to the States after marrying my husband in 2005. We lived in Montana for several years, with a short stay in Washington State, before finding our home here in Astoria in 2015.
