‘Real Estate for Real Change’

My mission is to build a supportive community through these events, where creativity and compassion come together to make a meaningful difference.

The reason behind it all

  • ✽

    By partnering with the Epilepsy Foundation of Oregon, I aim to raise awareness and funds to improve the lives of those affected by epilepsy.

  • ✽

    I chose to partner with the Epilepsy Foundation for my Real Estate for Real Change Night Market because my mom has lived with epilepsy since she was 12. My love and care for her drive me to support this cause, as I've witnessed her courage in facing the daily challenges and adversity’s of this condition. By working with the Epilepsy Foundation, I hope to honor her strength and contribute to advancements that could ease the burden for others affected by epilepsy.

  • ✽

    I got the idea for the "Real Estate for Real Change" Night Market from my amazing mentor, Bethany, who hosts her own night market in support of the DVRC. Her dedication and passion inspired me to find a way to give back while pursuing something meaningful to me. Her example helped shape this event, combining my commitment to a cause close to my heart with a platform for positive change.

  • ✽

    I genuinely love meeting and connecting with local artists and creators, and the night market is a fantastic way to experience the diverse and unique things they make. Supporting small and local businesses is something I’m passionate about, and the night market provides a vibrant platform for creators to showcase their work, network, and meet new people. It’s a joy to see the community come together and celebrate creativity in such a fun and engaging environment.
