As far back as I can remember, I have been writing and moving — not just through places, but through stories. Growing up in my family’s construction real estate business, I moved in and out of many buildings, each one carrying its own story, the layers of memory left behind.

Sereia was born at the intersection of my personal journey through writing and my professional path through communication. I hold an MA in applied linguistics — a field that deepened my understanding of how language shapes connection, identity, and negotiation, culminating in a family ethnography. My career has woven through real estate, marketing, and mentorship, giving me a unique ability to see both the tangible and intangible elements of transition.

Raised in a multicultural home as the daughter of an immigrant, I learned early how power, privilege, and identity shape even the simplest moments of communication. My lived experiences across Europe, Hawaii, Latin America, New England, and the Pacific Northwest have attuned my ear to a wide spectrum of voices, cultures, and relational dynamics — all of which inform the approach I developed at Sereia.

At my core, I am a writer who believes deeply in the power of human stories. Sereia exists to help individuals and organizations tell theirs. With every project, the goal is to elevate communication, foster genuine connection, and create space for meaningful transformation.

I am a licensed Oregon REALTOR® and hold the SRES® (Seniors Real Estate Specialist®) designation with the National Association of Realtors. See below for the link to access my real estate services.
