What made you go from modeling to being a real estate agent? I spent my early twenties traveling all over the world and was able to experience stunning boutique hotels in some of the most sought-after destinations. When I was ready for a career change, I wanted to do something that I had a sincere excitement for. With my background traveling, I gained a unique appreciation for real estate, and I knew it was the right fit for me. Working with clients is truly a privilege, and I feel fortunate to have both my buyers and sellers trust in me! What do you love about Summer Fridays Out East? Seeing my friends come from the city and spending time with them in a relaxed environment. We love going to Wölffer Estate Vineyard and catching up! You’re from Chicago. What were your first impressions of the Hamptons? I started coming to the Hamptons 12 years ago, and I just loved how quaint and peaceful everything was here. Your go-to lunch spot? My office is in Southampton, and I love Sant Ambroeus. If I’m on a time crunch, I’ll grab a smoothie from Juice Press! Who are you closest to from the show’s cast? I get along with everyone well! But I’m a girl’s girl, so definitely Bianca and Peggy. Describe your summer style! Rather than the more “relaxed” summer Friday look, I like to experiment with bold colors. My inspiration is a mix between Fran Fine from The Nanny and Olivia Pope from Scandal. Favorite Hamptons town? Sag Harbor! It’s quaint, my favorite restaurants are there, and I love being by the water. What have you learned about yourself through reality TV? Adjusting to seeing myself on TV has taken time to get used to. It all still feels surreal! Putting yourself out there can be scary, but I’m loving the journey. T
