A true military brat, I was born on the naval base in Lemoore, CA. We moved around from duty station to duty station almost every 2.5 years until my father retired in 2000. We were taken coast to coast as well as to Japan for a tour. After high school, I spent some time working as a missionary with Youth With a Mission. During that time I worked with children, conducted health care camps, and trained as a midwife. In 2005 I decided to pursue a bachelor's and then master's degree. I graduated from UCCS with a Bachelor's in Psychology and then 2 years later with a Master's in Counseling and Human Services. After a short time in the human services field, I moved to the insurance claims field and finally decided to go into real estate. I have fallen in love with Colorado after living here for 15 years and love to hike, mountain and road bike, and enjoy all the local restaurants in Denver.
