I began working in the real estate industry in 2008 as a Realtor® assistant. At that time, it was a very different market due to the housing crash and subsequent crisis that developed, but it was a highly informative time and a great way for me to learn the business. After taking some time off to raise my daughter, I returned to real estate as a licensed full-time Realtor®. I place enormous value on education and researching all of the best ways to serve my clients, which is why I have taken additional training to earn my MRP (Military Relocation Professional) certification, the SRES (Senior Real Estate Specialist) designation, the AHWD (At Home With Diversity) certification, and my PPRES (Pikes Peak Real Estate Specialist) certification. I have lived in the Colorado Springs area since 1991, so I have detailed knowledge of the territory, culture, and customs of the area and subareas, and I am able to provide helpful knowledge to clients. When I’m not working, you can find me spending quality time with my husband Kevin, who teaches 3rd grade in Academy School District 20, and our daughter.
