I grew up in Thailand. 11 years, from age 5 to 16, and it shaped a lot about me — including a permanent weakness for Thai food and a tolerance for spice that alarms people. I speak Thai and have some crazy stories from my childhood. At 16 I moved to Colorado by myself as a foreign exchange student. Shortly after high school I made my way up to Northern Colorado, and I've never left. This is my home. My husband and I love camping, and adventures with friends and family! We travel with our toddler in tow, which is either brave or foolish depending on the day. At home I'm cooking, usually with a glass of wine nearby — and I have real opinions about a well-made craft cocktail. I've been skydiving 4 times, which surprises most people, but I was actually quite the wild child. Before real estate, I spent 9 years at a large bank. I started as a teller and worked my way up to branch manager, running the branch for 6 years and building an amazing team. Those years taught me how financing and a credit score actually work from the inside. I love getting to know people, building relationships, and staying in people’s corners long after closing. I want to be your real estate resource for life — not for 1 transaction. Nearly a decade in, my business is built almost entirely on referrals. That's not an accident. I hold myself and my team to excellence on every transaction because when we do this well, people tell everyone they know. It's my favorite way to build my business. I'm deeply grateful to the family, friends, and clients who continue trusting me to take care of their friends and family- we wouldn't be here without them.
