I first came to the "Grand Canyon State" in 1997 on a business trip. While here, I decided to visit Northern Arizona. As I was driving north on Interstate 17 and heading into the Verde Valley, I saw out in the distance the snow capped San Francisco Peaks. I was amazed to see this. Having grown up in the flatest state in the United States (New Jersey) was I shell-shocked at the views and the mountains in the distance. My life was never the same after that! 7 years later, my husband and I packed up the kids, the dogs and all of our "stuff" and drove 2400 miles from Pennsylvania to call Flagstaff home.

We both came to Flagstaff without any jobs, but knew in our hearts that everything would work out because we loved this area so much. I had worked for almost 10 years prior to moving in the Information Technology field, and though I loved what I did, I knew it wasn't what I wanted to do here in Northern Arizona. It was then that I decided to try my hand in real estate. And the rest is history! My first year in real estate, I became the first Century 21 Centurion in the office I was in at the time. I was also the top selling agent by units sold (66 properties in 2005) here in Northern Arizona as well as the 8th top selling agent for the Century 21 Franchise in the Southwest. I not only fell in love with the area, but with a job that let me share everything I know and I love about Flagstaff and all of Northern Arizona!

I specialize not only in the Flagstaff area, but also in land, mini-ranches and horse properties throughout Northern Arizona, specifically Williams, Valle and the Grand Canyon area. Known as the "Land Lady" to the local real estate community, I can tell you just about anything you need to know about any area of Coconino County, including what it means to be "off the grid" here in rural N. Arizona.

In 2008 I went on to get my Arizona Real Estate Broker's license and opened my own office in March of 2010. Today, I have the pleasure of working with 6 other agents in my office who all love everything about the wonderful town of Flagstaff and Northern Arizona!

My Family
I have been happily married to my high school sweetheart, Rudy. We started dating in 1977, married in 1982 and had our first son, Andrew in 1985. Lindsay, our only daughter, arrived in 1987. It was at this time that we moved from New Jersey to a wonderful home in rural Pennsylvania. And then in 1991, we added our youngest son Taylor to our family.

I had worked for years in the Graphic Arts Industry as well as public relations and marketing. I had the amazing opportunity to work for years in Manhattan before opening a small Printing and Graphics Arts Company in Pennsylvania. Then in 1997, I decided to go back to school and graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology 5 years later.

I was also a volunteer Emergency Medical Tech (EMT) in Pennsylvania as well as on the Board of Directors for this organization. I was also active in Girl Scouting, Boy Scouting (Cubmaster), as well as other local community groups.

Since moving here to Arizona, I was actively involved in Boy Scout Troop 7031 here in Flagstaff, helping our youngest son attain the rank of Eagle Scout in 2008. Recently I opened a new office located at 1500 E. Cedar Ave., Suite #6 and currently spend most of my time here! When I'm not at the office, I love hiking at the Grand Canyon, Sedona, Flagstaff and all of the State of Arizona! I also love taking photos of this amazing area.
