About Me...
At the heart of my work is a passion for more than just buying and selling homes—it's about helping people design a life they love. As a Colorado native with five generations of family rooted in this state, I’ve always had an intimate knowledge of its neighborhoods and the dynamic changes they undergo. But beyond that, I bring a rare blend of creativity, professional experience, and deep empathy into every transaction. My background as an interior designer, with honors from the New York School of Interior Design, allows me to see the potential in every space, helping my clients envision their dream home—whether they’re moving into a new place or designing a life that truly inspires them.
​
Since I was a little girl, what I dreamed of most was having a beautiful home of my own. I was always drawn to creative endeavors, and in high school, my favorite classes were sewing and cooking—activities that allowed me to imagine a home filled with comfort and beauty. My undergraduate studies in apparel design opened doors to the world of fashion, where I began my career as a Western wear designer in Denver and Cheyenne. It was there that I discovered the connection between clothing and personal expression, a realization that would shape my career trajectory.
​
When I was 25 I boldly moved to New York City to get my piece of it! There my time as a womenswear designer at Federated Department Stores further sparked my love for global travel and the architecture that defines the way different cultures live. I became fascinated by how homes tell the story of a person’s life and how architecture can be a vehicle for self-expression. This love of design ultimately led me to interior design school, where I deepened my understanding of spaces and their ability to transform lives.
​
However, the path to this career wasn’t linear. After moving back to Colorado, I took a break to become a teacher and focus on raising my two children. For 15 years, I balanced the joy of teaching with the incredible experience of nurturing my family. But three years ago, I listened to my heart and returned to my true passion—helping people create homes that reflect their personal stories. This work brings together all of my passions and experiences—fashion, design, teaching, and the deep-rooted love of my Colorado home—and allows me to help my clients thrive.
​
With 36 years of work experience and a Master’s Degree in Education, I believe in a holistic approach to real estate that goes beyond just securing the perfect property. I’m here to be your guide, your advocate, and your partner. I deeply value relationships, and to me, real estate is as much about making the journey enjoyable and personal as it is about making a sound investment. I want to ensure that each client, whether buying or selling, feels empowered, understood, and supported. Every home I help find or sell is a reflection of your personal journey, and my goal is to make sure it’s aligned with your vision for a beautiful life.
Grateful for you!
