As a Washington native and growing up in the small town of Harrington (10 in my graduating class),  I continued on to Pullman and graduated from WSU with a BA degree in Hotel /Restaurant Management.  For many years I enjoyed the Lakeland Hills Community and all it has to offer, but now call the beautiful Lake Tapps area HOME.  

Prior to entering real estate, I have spent the past nine years in the hospitality industry as a Senior Events Manager with Hilton Hotels.  My passion and dedication to remaining current in an industry that is ever changing was recognized in both 2013 & 2018 when I received the Manager of the Quarter award.  With the continued motivation to produce optimal outcomes, I was again recognized as Manager of the Year in 2018.   As I transition my passion for people and take on this new endeavor of a real estate agent, I will strive daily to provide the highest possible standards of service to every transaction. 

In my free time, I take pride in watching the success of my two beautiful, now adult, daughters.  I also enjoy gardening and working outside in the sun, camping, boating/fishing, & spending time with family and friends.

Real estate is a powerful thing.  Where you live becomes the center of your universe:  your "home base" and a place where memories are made.  Even an investment property can have a profound effect on your life story--when chosen correctly.  It becomes long-term financial freedom and a vital part of your portfolio.
