I understand that buying or selling a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you may face in your lifetime.  It is a very important decision that affects many aspects of your life.  Therefore, it may be important to you that you have the right person helping you through the process.  That is where I can help.   The process of buying and selling homes is not as obvious as it may seem. No matter which side of the purchase you're on, you need an experienced advocate to help you get the best deal.  

Although a Washington native, I was raised in Southern Indiana, after my family was relocated for the Navy. There I attended Indiana University in Bloomington, IN and was a member of the Division 1 Indiana Women's Rowing team. During this time, I met my husband, and we were married after I graduated. We decided to move back out to the Pacific Northwest after learning my husband would be stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord as an Army Chemical Weapons Officer.   We settled in Gig Harbor, and couldn't be happier. Besides being a full time real estate broker with Coldwell Banker Bain, I am active in the local community through volunteer work with the animal shelter, and as a Family Readiness Leader for my husband's battalion on Joint Base Lewis-McChord. I enjoy rock climbing and horseback riding, along with finding new places to explore, cooking, and being an amateur civil war historian.    

 I would welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and deliver you the best service in the industry.
