My Story

I have spent years working in construction management after getting my degree in construction management from Arizona State University and have hands-on experience managing renovation projects from planning through completion. I understand the complexities of the building process and, more importantly, I understand how overwhelming it can feel to navigate an industry with its own language, systems, and expectations.

As a fellow Altadenan and Eaton Fire survivor, I understand on a deeply personal level what my neighbors are experiencing as we rebuild our community together. Losing a home and being forced into the rebuilding process is an overwhelming journey—especially for those who never imagined they would need to learn how to build a house.

I believe my experience, knowledge, and ability to connect with people were given to me for a purpose: to help my neighbors navigate this process with clarity, confidence, and support. My goal is to bridge the gap between homeowners and the construction industry so families can make informed decisions and feel empowered throughout their rebuild.

Outside of work, I’m adventuring through life with my husband, Chris, who has been my partner for more than two decades. Together, we are raising three amazing kids, two dogs, and 22 chickens—because apparently our household wasn’t busy enough already.
