I began my real estate career in 2006 following a successful career as a Project Manager for a commercial electrical contractor working with clients throughout the United States and Canada.A lifelong resident of the Pacific Northwest, I was raised in Woodinville and attended the University of Washington. I have lived from Seattle to Sammamish to Mill Creek, and currently reside in Maple Valley with my husband and two teenage daughters. When not working you will find me playing pickleball, reading, cooking, gardening, hiking, camping, or skiing.I am truly passionate about real estate and the opportunity to join in partnership with my clients as we work together to achieve their housing goals.My clients are my top priority, and it is an honor to apply my industry expertise to the challenges of financing, house-hunting, staging, negotiations and closing with competence and confidence. I possess an open, direct, and always authentic communication style and I am well regarded for my ability to develop positive and productive relationships with other brokers, lenders, escrow, and title representatives.I understand what it takes to win deals in a competitive market, while maintaining a keen focus on minimizing the risks for clients.Beyond the practical demands of the buying and selling process, it is the opportunity to develop lifelong relationships that makes me as excited about the privilege to work in real estate today as I was 18 years ago.I serve as a regular volunteer with organizations that support homeless men and women in South King County including HOME and the Union Gospel Mission's KentHOPE.
