After nearly two decades working as a Clinical Laboratory Scientist, I am thrilled to bring my passion for the love of helping others to the world of real estate here in beautiful Santa Cruz County, California. Originally hailing from Iowa, I've spent 20 years in the laboratory ensuring the highest standards for patients and healthcare teams alike. My experience has honed my attention to detail, communication skills, and ability to thrive in fast-paced, high-stakes environments. These qualities seamlessly translate to real estate, where every detail matters, and your goals are my top priority. My journey to Santa Cruz County was inspired by a desire for new adventures and a deep appreciation for the area’s natural beauty, vibrant communities, and unique lifestyle. As a transplant, I bring a fresh perspective combined with the empathy and resourcefulness that come from making a major move myself. I understand the excitement and nervousness of relocating, and I am committed to making your transition as smooth and rewarding as possible. Whether you’re buying your first home, searching for an investment property, or settling into a new chapter, I am here to offer tailored guidance, clear communication, and steadfast advocacy. I believe in building genuine relationships and empowering clients with knowledge, just as I did supporting clinicians and patients in my former career. Let me put my scientific rigor, Midwest work ethic, and newfound love of Santa Cruz County to work for you. Together, we can turn your real estate dreams into reality in this extraordinary place I now call home.
