Dacoda credits screenwriting professor Jim Cash (who wrote Top Gun)[7] at Michigan State University[6] for her move to Los Angeles with a feature film treatment in hand that she had written while she was still studying economics in college.

She quickly acquired a real estate license and shortly after started designing and transforming homes for clients.

While she was finding her way in the real estate industry, she was also getting acquainted with The Groundlings, did stand up comedy at The Laugh Factory, and hosted for channels and clients such as FX, Comcast, and MTV.

Her work has been dominantly focused on both the west and east coasts of United States with offices in New York and Beverly Hills.

Some notable projects have been The Roosevelt Lofts, a home in the Urban Glass House in Tribeca, New York, VIP space for The Billboard Music Awards in Vegas, multiple Engel & Völkers Southern California Real Estate Offices, and multiple residential dwellings for clients around the country.
