Whether you're a Buyer or Seller, my goal is to become your trusted real estate advisor. I believe in integrity, honesty, and commitment to you and the process. Buying or selling a home can be overwhelming. My mission is to put my knowledge and experience to work for you, and make every transaction feel as easy and seamless as possible. I've been a full-time Realtor since 2004. Real estate is not my hobby, part-time job, nor just a "side gig". This is my career and my passion. I am proud to be a member of the Windermere family and share in their commitment to help build better communities through the Windermere Foundation and various other service opportunities. I am an active member of the Seattle King County Association of REALTORS, serving as a State Director and Director-at-Large since 2013. I hold the same high-level commitment to both my profession and my clients. I have devoted and continue to devote much time, energy, and financial resources to continuing education in order to keep up with this ever-changing world of real estate. Through this effort I have obtained many professional designations that (besides being just a bunch of alphabet soup behind my name) help me better serve you!Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, I developed a love for the outdoors which eventually led me to the mountains of Colorado. I graduated from the University of Washington in 1999 with a degree in Accounting and International Business, along with a concentration in Spanish studies. After earning my CPA license and securing a "real job", I moved to Crested Butte for what was to be a three month adventure - a way to experience the life of a "ski bum" before returning to the real world of rush hour traffic and corporate work hours. Upon returning to Seattle I began my career with an international accounting firm. After one year with Deloitte & Touche (now Deloitte), I decided to follow my heart and return to the mountains of Colorado. The desire to be closer to family and the need for a new adventure eventually brought me back to the Pacific Northwest.Outside of real estate I can be found mountain or road biking, skiing, hiking and trail running. I really just love any excuse to be outside, rain or shine.
