I am a mother of three grown children, married for 30 years and still feel like a kid at heart. I have made new home sales and real estate my career since 2000 which was one of the most rewarding decisions of my life. It gave me the opportunity to learn about people, relationships and life in so many ways. I love most the rewarding connections that we form with others, the friendships I have made for life and helping people to find homes they will  truly love to live in. I took a health sabbatical in 2008 after having my third child to heal from a digestive illness and expand my entrepreneurial efforts into a new company.  During this time I created a children's cardboard fort business and sold over 50,000 nationwide through Costco and independent toy stores.  Throughout this time I also devoted myself to becoming a health advocate, deep researcher, healer, and spiritual devotee to find meaningful truth to why illness happens and how people truly heal.  My outcome of this devoted research resulted in my excellent coaching and leadership skills.  I ended that journey by returning to real estate in 2015 when the market began its recover. I returned to new home sales in Bothell WA with private homebuilder, Element Residential. I continued to grow from there and was recruited by Pulte Homes where I spent seven truly enjoyable and successful years with a great team.   Overall, my diverse experiences both in working for a large corporation and myself as a business owner pushed the leader within me to be born and to honor life with deep appreciation. Knowing that no matter what I do in life, I want to do it while bringing a rich and meaningful experience to others.
