I love the Olympia area. It has the bustle of city-life with the comfortable feeling of a small town. Thurston County, with its access to a diverse range of activities and cities makes it a magnet for any personality type.I’ve lived in Washington my whole life, growing up in the farmland of the Columbia Basin, where my family still lives. I moved to Spokane to attend college at Eastern Washington University, which is where my husband and I bought our first home—a fixer-upper. Shortly after, my husband joined the US Army, and we moved west, where we instantly fell in love with the area and its lush green landscapes.I lived in Olympia, working in a Human Resources office for 7 years, before I decided to pursue a career in real estate. I’d always been interested in design and architecture, but soon realized the journey starts in finding a house that functions with your lifestyle first. It made sense to couple my background in office administration and customer service with helping others find properties that fit their specific lifestyles.But buying a home is a big deal – for some it’s the largest purchase of their lives. Having a background in Human Resources, specializing in training, makes me uniquely qualified in helping my clients understand the process and provide them with the confidence they need in making their decisions.My partnership with Coldwell Banker Evergreen Olympic Realty was a natural choice—the team had so many values I could relate too—a high level of professionalism, superior industry knowledge, and a focus on service, lasting relationships, and the community.I would love to put my skills and partnerships to work in helping you navigate your next real estate transaction.Experience• Real Estate Purchase/Sale• Customer Service• Organization• Event Planning• Communications• MarketingEducationBachelor of Business Administration in Human Resources and General Management, Eastern Washington University, 2003Professional Affiliations:REALTOR® - Member, National Association of RealtorsMember, Thurston County Association of RealtorsMember, Northwest Multiple Listing Service
