The Oppenheim Group agent also teased the high-fashion fans can expect from her in season 6! “The fashion never disappoints Selling Sunset. But this season is better than ever for sure.

Women can do everything and anything they put their mind to.”

I’m in real estate, investing, and I have my food company – whether it’s taking 15 minutes out of my work day to walk my dog or having a weekend to myself, this personal time matters,” she told HL. “If I don’t, I can tell that my work productivity declines. It’s important to take time for yourself and focus on the things that matter.”
