With over 25 years of experience in the property industry, I have worked in both corporate and boutique agencies and also in the self-employed model with eXp. I now own my own business, and I’m the Managing Director at Loporto Browne Residential based in North West London. I am the Past President of NAEA Propertymark and Regional Executive for London. I co-founded the Women In Estate Agency Group, which has a yearly conference, leadership courses and is a thriving community and voice for change and equality in our industry.

Starting my career in 1998 at the largest real estate company in my native Malta and then relocating to England to learn the unique London market with one of the leading corporate agencies, what was intended to be a sabbatical turned into a permanent stay, and London is my home. Born in Ecuador, brought up in Malta and with an Italian mother, I’m a true Londoner.
