My family and I have lived in the Snoqualmie Valley for over 21 years. We chose the Snoqualmie Valley as our home when we were ready to start a family because it had a special community feel and it is a beautiful place to call home. We are very active in the community as volunteers and contributors to several local organizations. My husband is a North Bend City Councilmember and I served on the Snoqualmie Valley School Board. Our children Marika, Anika and Gerrit have all attended schools in our district and we have all enjoyed their time in our schools.
I am a real estate broker and consultant for Stover Mathis Real Estate and giving back to my community is now a cornerstone of my business. I am a proud affiliate of the Homes for Heroes program that allows me to honor and give back to our local heroes when they buy or sell a home. Before my recent move to Stover Mathis, I worked with Joe Eddings and we focused on residential, commercial and investment real estate. We also consulted with many distressed homeowners who are facing foreclosure and educate them on their options and put them in touch with resources. Prior to my real estate career, I worked in technical consulting and sales including ten years with Verizon Wireless as a Senior Technical Consultant with a client base ranging from the CEO and others in the executive suite , engineering, marketing, customer service and human resources. My knowledge and involvement in our community and schools combined with nearly twenty five years of marketing, consulting, process analysis and project management experience benefits the Snoqualmie Valley and I focus many of my volunteer efforts to improving and supporting our schools in the Valley.
