The product of a military family, I was no stranger to moving. My family and I made a home in Virginia, which took me from the sandy banks of the Chesapeake to the Appalachian Mountains. However, my love of the outdoors and Colorado’s beckoning led my wife and me to pack up our two dogs and three cats for a 1,700-mile trek in our Subaru to Colorado Springs in 2017.

It was love at first sight. The natural beauty, history, and city size were a Goldilocks fit- just right. The more I grew to appreciate my new home, the more I felt the deep connection that “home” has in our ability to thrive. Home is my center and support system, and I wanted others to realize the power “home” has in helping them find the perfect space where they can settle. Having purchased and sold three homes, I understood how overwhelming and intimidating the process is and was determined to change that for others. Furthermore, as a Spanish speaker and member of the queer community, I understood that homeownership is not a privilege available to everyone, so I decided to change that.

I guess you could say real estate found me. I left education and dove into real estate head first, ready to “shake things up.” But the transition left me with a void that I kept looking to fill. Leaving a career in international education, which included time living abroad, was not easy. So many of my identities were wrapped up into my connections with people from around the globe.. As much as I loved my career in real estate, I felt like I had to give up a piece of myself to build my business- until Engel and Völkers.

Engel and Völkers has become my international “home away from home” where I can continue to provide a different real estate experience without being globally limited. Whether selling in Colorado Springs or Spain, I make sure all of my clients have an experience that is not transactional but comfortable, simple, and personal. Shelter is a basic human need- no matter which country you call home and my work as a Real Estate Advisor with Engel & Völkers is committed to ensuring all of my clients thrive, financially and personally.

Besides work, I love traveling, hiking, trail running, yoga-ing, camping, and road-tripping. Friends and family are everything to me; I am a very proud wife and mom to our dogs, Arlo and Freddie, and cats, Jack and Ranger. I am so grateful to call Colorado Springs home, and I enjoy taking any free time to get to know every nook and cranny of this extraordinary city with those I care for the most.
