I have always loved to help people and feel that becoming a real estate agent can help expand my circle of friends and knowledge. I have always strived to learn new things, which has led me to what I know today. I grew up just West of Darrington, on Swede Heaven Road. I later moved to Mount Vernon for a couple of years to attend college. My husband, Bruce, and I bought our first home near Arlington. We later sold that home and moved East to Oso, where we are now raising our two children.

I received my High School Diploma from Darrington High. I also received college credits from Northwest Indian College for painting of murals for the Suak Suiattle Long House Project. From there, I went onto Skagit Valley College and received my AA Degree. I continued onto Columbia College and am currently working towards a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business Administration.

I started out babysitting, doing clean-up for a logging company, mowing lawns, working in the plainer mill, tutoring middle school students, working for the U.S. Forest Service, delivering mail, working for Compass Health, working for the WA State Patrol and working for the City of Arlington in the Planning Department.
