Every chapter of my life, from adventures to challenges to new beginnings, has prepared me to help others navigate change and find a true sense of belonging.

I’ve never been one to shy away from adventure. From my earliest days, life was a series of new beginnings that I embraced. My father’s career in retail management meant we moved often, and I learned quickly how to adapt, build community, and find my place in unfamiliar environments. That pattern continued after marrying my husband, Stuart, who served in the Air Force for 25 years, leading to 13 moves both nationally and internationally.

Each move was a challenge, but also an invitation to meet new people, to learn, and to create a sense of home wherever we landed. I’ve always believed that you can either see yourself as an outsider, or you can rise to the challenge and find your space and sense of belonging. I chose the latter every time.

That spirit of curiosity and willingness to embrace new challenges has shaped my life. I've explored a patchwork of passions: counselor, educator, high school swim coach (with a few state contenders on our teams), five-time marathoner, Bowenwork practitioner after the work transformed my own chronic pain, a talk radio host. Currently I am hosting a Tucson segment for the American Dream TV, a nation-wide streaming television program. I’ve always been a student at heart, probably destined to be learning something new for the rest of my life!

At the center of each new adventure has always been my family. My husband has always encouraged me to follow my interests and championed my willingness to try new things. And we instilled the same joy for learning in our kids. I homeschooled them for many years, encouraging them to think for themselves and become lifelong learners too.

Another central theme in my life has been serving others. My faith is everything to me and forms the foundation for that service-oriented approach to life. From coaching young adults in swim and helping them realize their full potential to healing physical pain through Bowenwork, I have always strived to make a difference in the lives of others. I’ve learned firsthand how impactful that support and sense of community can be. When I was diagnosed with cancer and navigating the journey of treatment and recovery, my community showed up for me in ways I will never forget. It was eye opening and inspired me to give back that same level of care to others every chance I get.

With COVID came the opportunity to pause, reflect, and plan for the next chapter. At that point, we had been settled in Tucson for over a decade. We knew this was our forever home, and now that we had roots in the community, I felt ready to pursue something I’d always loved: real estate.

Over the years, I kept an eye on the market wherever we lived, always curious about what home looked like in new places. I’d even play real estate agent as a kid, pretending to sell houses. When I finally jumped in, my background was invaluable. My years of moving from place to place, adapting to new environments, homeschooling my children, overcoming health challenges, and building strong family and community ties have all shaped who I am as a real estate professional. I can connect with people from all walks of life and personally understand many of the transitions they are going through.

My diverse skill set, lived experience, and empathetic approach mean I can manage both the technical and personal aspects of a transaction. I ensure my clients are supported and find not just a house, but a true sense of home. After a lifetime of building community and creating a sense of home wherever life took me, I’m honored to help others do the same.

Viewing myself as an advisor, I enjoy educating my clients, showcasing the different neighborhoods and lifestyles here in the Tucson area, and offering guidance to make the process manageable and even fun! I go above and beyond to solve problems, serve as a connecter of people, and provide more value than I receive. I'm fortunate to work almost entirely with repeat and referral clients, a testament to the relationships I’ve built, and the care I pour into every transaction. When I say I treat my clients like family, I mean it! I’m here to be a lifelong resource before, during, and long after the transaction is over. I love being a connector of people, recommending the best local service providers, small businesses, or groups to help foster community and connection.

Above all, I hope to leave a legacy of kindness and care serving my clients, my family, and my community with the same heart that has guided me through every adventure so far.

Today, my husband Stuart is embracing new chapters of his own. Having retired from managing the Richard F Caris Mirror Lab at the University of Arizona, he is now pursuing a new career in the physical therapy field. In my free time, I love hiking, enjoying a good spa day, spending time with my family, and traveling, especially when it means visiting my kids or exploring nature.

Sincerely,
