Born and raised in Minnesota and tenth of eleven children, I relocated to Arizona in the late 80"s ultimately settling in North Scottsdale in 1995. Whether it has been in sales or my 10 years as a flight attendant for a major airline, I have always carefully chosen which companies I represent. Russ Lyon Sotheby's International Realty has given me the platform with their international marketing ability to propel myself and go the extra mile for Buyers and Sellers. Since I am an outdoor enthusiast I love living in the Pinnacle Peak area. I enjoy hiking and biking in the Sonoran Desert and have been involved with native animal rehabilitation for over 20 years. I am passionate about aiding injured birds and mammals return to the wild. My husband of 30 years is a retired airline pilot. We currently share our home with parrots and desert tortoises, though the tortoises live outdoors. I am hardworking and driven with a Bachelor's degree in Finance from Arizona State University. I look forward to the opportunity to assisting you in your residential real estate needs.
