My story
I discovered short-term rentals while learning digital marketing through a network and digital marketing organisation. People there introduced me to the basics of STR.
I became curious, and took both free and paid courses. I learned about listings, pricing, marketing, guest experience, systems and operations.
Then I chose to focus on STR and build hands-on experience.
That was four years ago. Today I help owners and property managers understand how pricing, occupancy, booking behaviour and listing conversion work together, and where their properties can perform better.
The part I enjoy most is the problem-solving. When a calendar won’t sync, a pricing rule behaves strangely or bookings stall for no obvious reason, I want to understand why. I like learning a new tool until I know how it really works, then finding the practical fix. For you, that means problems get traced to their cause instead of patched over.
How I work
I always look at the listing, pricing, market and systems first, so every recommendation is based on what is actually holding a property back.
See the Venice Beach turnaroundI don’t stop at pointing out problems. I help put the fix in place, from pricing rules to listing changes and workflows.
See the Seminyak revenue projectI look for the gaps and opportunities nobody asked about yet, and raise them before they cost you bookings.

I work remotely with owners and managers in the US, Canada, the UK, Europe and Australia.
Not a general virtual assistant: my focus is the business side of short-term rentals.
