As a child, she learned the values of hard work, dedication, and community. She participated in numerous Rotary events with her Rotarian grandfather.

She became a technical sales specialist for a cardiopulmonary equipment company; in 8+ years of service, she rose to the position of Director of Marketing, Cardiac Surgery. She earned both a Bachelor of Business Management and an MBA in Business Management and Marketing degrees from Regis University while working in this healthcare industry.

She sought out licensure in the real estate profession and has formed a partnership with Brad (Next Chapter Partners) within the Madison & Company Properties.
