I’m a small-town BC REALTOR® and coach with big ideas. Obsessed with: social media, bohemian decorating and lovin' Jesus!  I’ve been keepin’ it real in real estate since 1992 (has it really been that long!). Read on for the rest!

I wasn't always a REALTOR®.  I use to work in the computer industry (hence my passion for all things "geek")  before... you won't believe this...becoming a drywall taper and running a construction company (hence my passion for all things "house")!

I should have known that a girl that builds houses would one day want to sell them!

Nowadays, you can find me popping in on my seniors to help them with their downsizing plans or strategizing with my first-time buyers on how to get into the market or building portfolios of rental properties for my investors.  When I am not working on real estate, I actively serve in my church, volunteer at my real estate board and sit as a board director on a local non-profit organization.

A few years ago I decided to give back to the industry I care so much about.  I created a coaching program to speed up the very steep learning curve new REALTORS® face.  It has given me so much joy to help people achieve their dreams in real estate - not only as buyers and sellers but now as a real estate coach.  Who knew a little idea would become such a passion for me!

If you’re dying to hear more, here are five things you might not know about me:

1. I am one of six children
2. I was given a second chance to live my life over (ask me how)
3. When I first started in real estate, I was so afraid to speak to people that I would deny I had any listings in our sales meetings.
4. I was very active in live theatre (how I got over #3), started a production company and almost quit real estate to produce a television series
5. I was born and raised in the same house for the first twenty years of my life. In the next twenty years, I moved seventeen times!
