My journey has been anything but conventional, beginning with 15 years as a registered nurse before transitioning to real estate, where I found my passion at Landmark 24 Homes. As the Design, Product, and Option Manager, I manage the design gallery and collaborate with vendors to curate cost-effective products that align with our needs as a production builder while staying on top of industry trends and providing a diverse range of options for buyers. I also oversee upgrade options, strategically managing take rates and margins to maximize both buyer appeal and company profitability. I carefully balance affordability and quality to ensure our selections enhance both buyer satisfaction and company profitability. Additionally, I play a key role in implementing new software solutions to keep the company innovative in today’s evolving home sales market. As a member of the family behind Landmark 24 Homes, I take great pride in our company's legacy and its role in the community, and I take great pride in contributing to homes that families will cherish for years.

Chief of Operations at Lexar Homes, a franchise home builder based in the Northwest. Started out washing windows after college and using my free time to travel. This gave me a deeper appreciation for other cultures and ways of life. Worked as an insurance claim estimator for years and this helped me pay attention to smaller details, negotiate with others, and better understand the financial aspects of business. My work now affords me great variety and association with brilliant and passionate people. I still have much to learn.
