As a 30 year resident of New York City, I have a deep and thorough understanding of neighbourhood dynamics and properties. My entire business philosophy is based on always taking the time to understand what my clients are looking for, and to provide them with the best possible options and service. Having lived all over the world and being fluent in Russian and Hindi also helps enormously in a multicultural city like New York.
An 18 year career in fashion and retail helped me hone my customer service skills. I managed boutiques and worked as a buyer for luxury and fashion clients like Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Dior Homme, Moschino and Ralph Lauren. My time in fashion has helped me understand the individual needs of clients better and to be an industrious ally in the search for the perfect fit, be it in apparel or residence.
Chelsea has been home to me for the past 20 years, since I bought my first apartment. My pup Sam and I love everything the neighborhood has to offer and I enjoy working with my co-op, heading up the gardening/ landscaping committee. I have traveled extensively throughout Europe, Australia, Asia, Africa and South America and continue to do so whenever possible. I hold a degree in Business Economics and enjoy spending my free time exploring all the boroughs of the city, cycling and working out, the art and music scene and I also volunteer with animal rescue organizations.
