This time of year is always a favorite of mine-- I enjoy Black History Month, and International Women's Day... as much as 'enjoy' is really a reflection of growth and introspection. That said, I came across this article a few months ago and it really sat with me for a bit. As a B-School alum, I have spent a lot of time reflecting on my leadership style and how I interact within the context of a team. It's important to me-- as is community. I have a very high inclusion score... ;)

2023 End of Year Message
I came out of last year feeling such an immense gratitude for my role. I am proud of my sales for the year- yes (of course). We ended the year with 42 transactions— 26 buyers and 15 sellers and over 50 million in real estate sold. Of those, 23 of those families were on island which landed me as the #2 broker overall. We were recognized by the Bainbridge Review as a Bainbridge Best team, brokerage and individual as well as by Seattle Agents Magazine as a Top Agent.
