About Nina

A Walk Through My Life I was born and bought up in India, studied through the Cambridge system of education, and did my B.A. on Economics & Commerce through Bombay University. While at University, I worked with an Obstetrician & Gynaecologist and managed a Fertility Clinic and a medical practice. I next joined Cathay Pacific Airways, and traveled a lot and had fun! During this time I met my husband, who is an ex-radio officer for the merchant navy, and so we got married and sailed the high seas together for a year! I traveled around some more at sea. We then had our first child, and immigrated to New Zealand, where we settled for the next 9 years, during which time we had our second child. New Zealand and Sydney-Australia In New Zealand, I worked as Personnel & Postings Manager for the Royal New Zealand Navy. I handled Public Relations work and took care of visiting dignitaries from different countries. I also worked in the capacity of Recruiter & Negotiator. I obtained my Real Estate license in New Zealand and practiced Real Estate part-time. I love people and homes and this worked out well. We then moved to Sydney, Australia, for the next two years, where we had our third child. In Sydney, I worked as a volunteer at my children's school working on a one-on-one basis with children to bring them up to grade level. This was soul satisfying work. I also studied for my Masters degree in Psychology & Counseling skills in Sydney. Cupertino-CA, USA 2001 was our next move to U.S.A., and we settled in Cupertino, CA. I settled my family, and then took up voluntary work in Emergency Preparedness and Safety with the City of Cupertino. I contracted for the City of Cupertino, and wrote the Flood Insurance program through NFIP – FEMA, as a result of which the City of Cupertino and Community members save 10% on their flood insurance premiums! My passion and interest in people and homes, led me to get my Real Estate license in 2005 in California once more, and I work as a full time Realtor with Coldwell Banker, Stevens Creek, Cupertino. My aim in life is to help as many people in the sale or purchase of a home, taking good care of all their needs, and making sure they are well satisfied and settled. I build lifetime relationships, not single transactions! In January 2006, I was appointed as a Public Safety Commissioner for the City of Cupertino, where I continue to work in a volunteer capacity for the community I live and work in.
