No two days are ever the same. Every transaction brings new opportunities, challenges and relationships. Most importantly, I get to help people navigate one of the biggest purchases of their lives and be part of such a meaningful milestone.

I strive to make the process as seamless and enjoyable as possible by being approachable, proactive and dedicated every step of the way.

Navigating the uncertainty and emotions that come with such a significant life decision.

I’ve learned that clear communication, setting expectations and being a steady source of support can make all the difference.

Show up consistently and authentically in the spaces that matter to you. Build genuine relationships, be present and let people get to know you and the value you bring.

What’s your favorite meal in Denver?
I love Dio Mio. I am a sucker for handmade pasta and a comfort meal.
Architecturally speaking, what is your favorite building in Denver?
Denver Union Station is one of my favorites. I love how it blends historic architecture with modern design while keeping so much character and charm. It’s a great example of how a building can preserve its history while continuing to be a vibrant part of the city.
What’s the weirdest thing that’s ever happened to you on the job?
One of the more unusual experiences I’ve had on the job was helping a friend sell her dad’s property. The home had been taken over by squatters and left in pretty rough shape, with boarded-up windows and some unexpected environmental concerns, including a positive meth test. Let’s just say it was one of the more challenging properties to show and sell!
What’s one thing people are surprised to learn about you?
I love to slalom water ski.
What is your favorite vacation spot and why?
Naples, Florida! It’s an easy flight, the beaches are beautiful, the food is fantastic and the slower pace makes it the perfect place to unwind and recharge. Fun fact: I’m also licensed in real estate in Florida!
What is your favorite city after Denver?
My hometown of Oconomowoc, Wisconsin! I was fortunate to grow up on a lake, so being there brings a sense of familiarity, comfort and nostalgia. There’s something special about being by the water that allows me to slow down, relax and feel at home.
In 10 words or less, what is your advice for someone new to the industry?
