Throughout my life, I have upheld one unwavering principle guiding my journey: Embracing your passions wholeheartedly will pave the path to a life enriched with purpose and fulfillment.
Serving others has been my guiding light for much of my life. After graduating college, there were many avenues I thought about pursuing, but real estate emerged as the best avenue to actualize this goal. Guiding individuals and families through the intricate process of buying or selling a home became more than a career—it was a calling, a means to leave a lasting impact on people’s lives. It takes a lot of hard work, but every time I can achieve a client's goals, I am infinitely rewarded with the gratification of making a positive impact.
Balancing personal and professional life is an intricate dance, but I've learned if you truly love something, time is never an obstacle. My husband, Glen, and I always prioritized our children. Their endeavors took precedence for many years, from attending sporting events to nurturing their educational pursuits. With our kids all grown up now, our seven grandchildren bring boundless joy and energy to our lives. My husband gave me the endearing title of "Super Grammy"—a title I cherish.
However, beyond the realm of family and real estate, there existed another profound passion since childhood—horses. Attending private school as a child allowed me to experience working closely with horses. Owning horses continued to be a prominent part of my life. One of our neighbors, Todd Bimat, happened to be a prominent cutting horse trainer and began introducing me to the sport. Volunteering at the ranch, I couldn’t help but become enthralled by the world of cutting horses.
The sport of cutting, with its demand for precision and the unique bond between rider and horse, captivated me instantly. It's not merely riding; it's a symphony of instincts, agility and trust between human and equine. The mental fortitude required to anticipate the animal's movements and the split-second decisions made in the show ring—these became intrinsic to my journey. One of my favorite things to do is go up into the mountains, where I have friends with cattle ranches. There, I practice cutting and have the time of my life!
Surprisingly, the lessons from cutting seamlessly integrate into my professional life in real estate. In both realms, I exercise instinct, adaptability, patience and unwavering perseverance.
Much like my passion for family, real estate and cutting, contributing to the community holds a special place in my heart. Growing up in Southern California, I found such a distinctly beautiful lifestyle here—I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.
The devastation wrought by the Paradise fires in 2018 struck a chord deep within me. Having lived here for 24+ years and owning properties in Paradise, I felt an intimate connection to the tragedy. The rebuilding efforts became a personal endeavor, allowing me to offer support and aid to the resilient people seeking to rebuild their lives. Seeing the community come together during those trying times was one of the most beautiful things I had the honor of witnessing.
Engaging actively in community service has always been a cornerstone of my life. Serving on the board of directors for local organizations like the Boys and Girls Club and the Rancho Capay Women's Club has been immensely gratifying. Through these roles, we provide scholarships, support families in need and organize fundraisers.
In the mosaic of my life, each passion—family, real estate, horses, community service—melds seamlessly, forming a tapestry of fulfillment and purpose. The freedom to pursue these diverse passions has sculpted the vibrant, fulfilling life I'm grateful to live!
