About
Hard work. Honesty. Treating neighbors right. These are the values I learned growing up on a ranch in the heart of Eureka, Montana. The third of nine children, I bucked bales, moved irrigation pipes, milked cows and rode horseback. I learned that the workday didn't end at 5 p.m.; it ended when the job was done.
After graduating from Lincoln County High School, I attended Montana State University in Bozeman, where I studied pre-law and met my husband. There, I worked in the banking industry and was responsible for the accounting of all bank funds on a daily basis. When my husband's education took him to Portland, Oregon, I joined a property development company where I managed multiple properties. I was involved in every aspect of the business, from showing the properties and coordinating maintenance to signing contracts. We later settled down in Southwest Montana, where we owned and operated a small business for 25 years while raising our family. Through countless projects on our home and the professional office building we owned, I learned basic home construction skills through hands-on labor. I have always been detail-oriented in my work, taking great pride in completing jobs to the highest level of quality.
I was thrilled to have the opportunity to return to beautiful Northwest Montana with my husband in 2019. After acquiring my MT real estate license, I was honored to join the team at Lancaster & Company, where I work with like-minded professionals who share my core values and who are heavily involved in giving back to our community.
Whatever the season, I love being outdoors. In my spare time, you will find me working in my garden, mountain biking, kayaking, swimming, hiking, camping, hunting or snowshoeing. .
I would love to put my experience and passion to work for you. Whether it is finding that perfect spot to build your dream home in Northwest Montana or carefully guiding you through the selling process, I will work enthusiastically to help you achieve your real estate goals!
