Buyers and sellers can also rely on the fact that I'm a skilled and seasoned negotiator who will uphold their best interests and close every deal successfully.

Since majoring in theater at Brooklyn and Hunter Colleges, and Hebrew University in Israel, I began naturally gravitating towards sales and sales management jobs over the years. Ultimately, I excelled in a 15-year career as national wholesale sales manager for high-end handmade rugs selling major orders to such upscale retail establishments as ABC Carpet, Bloomingdale's and others.

While work is a priority, I also find great gratification in outside activities that involve animal rescue. As a director of Mighty Mutts, I'm in Union Square in Manhattan every Saturday trying to adopt out new pets to good homes, plus I volunteer time to help fundraise for the group, as well as fostering and rehabilitating dogs looking for their forever home. That same passion has let me to specialize in helping people find pet friendly homes- sometimes not an easy thing in New York City. I have been interviewed multiple time in the press about matching people, their pets, and finding the right home for all.

I also love partaking in all the great places in and around my own neighborhood, like new restaurants and old standbys, the new Union Market gourmet food store, Talde's, the local Greenmarkets and especially Prospect Park where I'm frequently found walking my own two rescue dogs - Mikey and Shelly.
