I am a true Northwest native, born and raised in Puyallup, along with my sister Wendy and brother Patrick, all PHS Viking alums. Upon graduation I attended the University of Washington, and remain a rabid Husky fan, a 34 year football season ticket holder. I've called Olympia home for 25 years, married to my husband Dave, and raised two nearly grown and flown children, Mackenzie and Marcus. All 3 are Olympia HS graduates. My professional background has been as an account representative in copier hardware and software technology for the past 28 years. Real Estate has always intrigued me, and I finally heeded the advice and urging of friends and family to change my career path. Despite the migration to the internet marketplace, my firm belief is that people still buy from people. My cornerstone is relationship building, based on trust, ethics, integrity, transparency, and complete follow-through cradle to grave. Whether you are a first-time buyer, looking to downsize or right-size, I will work relentlessly with you as your partner and advocate from start to finish.
