Growing up in Providence, Rhode Island, I earned my Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Rhode Island. After moving to Denver, CO, I enlisted in the US Air Force. While enlisted as Medical Laboratory Technician, I completed my Master’s Degree in Management with Troy State University and was ultimately commissioned as a Transportation Officer. My military career allowed me to live in various parts of the US (Arkansas, California, Florida, Ohio) and Germany, as well as a tour in the Middle East during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. After my husband, Terry, and I retired from the military, we relocated to the Phoenix area in 2001 so that Terry could continue his aviation career.

I earned my AZ Real Estate license in early 2002 and my AZ Real Estate Broker’s license in mid-2005. I'm a strong advocate of continuing education, and have earned the Graduate Realtor Institute (GRI) and Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR) designations from the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR). I've also been recognized as experienced in the practice of Online Real Estate and officially certified as an e-PRO, Internet Professional, by the NAR. As a Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE), I help homeowners navigate their choices when they are behind on their mortgage payments and/or they owe more on their mortgage than their home’s present value. My moral and ethical philosophy in real estate and personal relocation experiences enable me to build enduring relationships with my clients while helping them “Cross New Thresholds”.

For fun…. my husband and I enjoy hiking, traveling, and riding their motorcycles.
