Being a mix of 2 beautiful Caribbean Islands which is Aruba where I grew up and St. Maarten, where I have been residing for the last 6 years, I have truly experienced the best of both.
Sint Maarten has always captured my heart ever since I was traveling every summer or Christmas vacation as a little girl. I decided to move here in 2007 and stayed for 2 years; however, wanting to further my education in Hospitality I decided to move back to Aruba with the intent to return permanently to Sint Maarten which I did in 2016. I am now a proud mom of a 3 year old boy, who is such a happy go lucky kid filled with love and personality.
I started working in the hospitality industry at the age of 18 in England and continued working in this field for over 13 years in Aruba. My passion and strength has always been customer service and assisting customers in their area of need whilst on vacation. In 2017 I decided to change careers and challenge myself, where I worked as a Car Lease agent and then worked as a Recruitment consultant.
My mom has always been my role model for many reasons as I’m much like her in many ways. She started her journey in Real Estate in 2017 and over the years has always suggested for me to join as it would be something I would like, be good at and can grow in.In 2021 the passion started to rise in me as opportunities started presenting themselves to me where I would be contacted to assist with vacation planning and staycations. With this happening I felt an urge to start looking into Real Estate and reached out to some of my contacts in the business. I was referred to IDR where I applied and since joining the team I can say it’s one of the best things that has happened to me career wise.
The mission, vision, drive, integrity and dedication of Sacha are just a few characteristics that I love which makes working for her so rewarding and I’m proud to be part of the IDR team.
