Aloha!
I am a passionate and driven Real Estate Agent based on the island of Maui. From a young age, I nurtured a passion for writing and storytelling, which subsequently kindled my pursuit of acting. After graduating from Oregon State University with a Business Management degree, I spent seven influential years in the financial sector. During this period, I cultivated a strong client base and built enduring relationships at notable firms like Wells Fargo and Country Financial.
Despite my success in finance, I felt my true passion for acting and writing was not being fully realized. This prompted a pivotal decision in 2014; I left the finance sector and relocated to Las Vegas to pursue my acting dreams. This shift allowed me to gain invaluable experience in the film industry and learn life lessons I intend to share in an upcoming publication.
In 2019, my journey led me to Huntsville, Alabama, where I joined the NASA Space Camp team. My role involved educating children and adults about space programs, STEAM education, and the vital importance of chasing one's dreams. In 2022, I made the bold decision to move to Maui, a step that allowed me to continue pursuing my acting dreams while kickstarting my career in real estate. Today, I skillfully balance my passion for acting with my role at The Pono Group, where I assist clients in fulfilling their real estate aspirations.
In my downtime, I partake in a variety of activities such as hiking, yoga, surfing, boxing, the arts, snorkeling and free-diving, traveling, and enjoying the company of my rescue dog, Oliver.
Living by the 'Aloha way,' my steadfast commitment to my passions and my dedication to aiding others serve as a testament to my character. I hope to inspire others to pursue their dreams, just as I have.
Please contact me if you want to talk about making your dreams come true on Maui! I'd be honored to help in all the many ways I can.
Thank you, and much aloha,
Jillian 🙂
