About OakTrust Properties

What year did you join the property management industry?

For as long as I can remember. Officially on staff in 2013.

Where are you from?

I am a native of Charleston and absolutely love raising my two children, Westin & Henry alongside my partner Brodie.

Favorite movie?

I love just about any Will Ferrel including Stepbrothers, Anchorman, and Ricky Bobby.

Any hobbies?

I have a range of hobbies and a deep passion for lifelong learning. My heart lies with nature, and I find joy in nurturing a wildlife-friendly garden at my home. I cherish moments spent hiking with friends and my loyal dog, cycling alongside my family or simply immersing myself in the serene embrace of the great outdoors. The sounds of nature are my symphony, and the open air is where I feel most at home.

With more than a decade in property management, I’ve been helping clients navigate the industry since 2010. Having lived in the Summerville and Charleston area since 1985, I’ve seen the region grow and change firsthand, which gives me a strong understanding of the local market and what makes it tick. When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me outside. I love mountain biking local trails, hiking to great views, or getting out on the water to surf whenever I can. The Lowcountry lifestyle and its unique character are a big part of why I enjoy what I do, and they motivate me to deliver great service while building lasting relationships in the community. Let’s connect and talk about how I can help with your property management needs.

Born in Mexico and raised in California, I bring a diverse cultural perspective to my work. With a background in business and a passion for problem-solving and helping others, I serve as an Assistant Property Manager focused on efficient operations and clear communication with clients and tenants. Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new restaurants and staying active, combining my love for food and fitness.

I am 33 years old and hold a BA in English Language. As an Assistant Property Manager, I bring communication skills and experience across real estate, customer service, law, and tourism. My responsibilities include addressing tenant and owner concerns, managing administrative tasks, and ensuring maintenance issues are handled promptly. In my free time, I enjoy traveling and spending quality time with my family.

As a Maintenance Coordinator, I support clients by coordinating maintenance requests and ensuring issues are resolved efficiently. Being part of the problem-solving process and helping others when maintenance challenges arise is what I enjoy most about my role. Outside of work, I enjoy gardening and taking long walks in nature.
