The straightforward, honest approach to real estate.
I am on a mission to empower you to achieve your real estate goals.
In the early 2000 I left Whistler in pursuit of a mountain town to plant roots. After buying my first home here, I met my husband, and together, we built a life full of adventures, snowmobiling, skiing, and mountain biking. We adopted a Lab-Rottweiler mix who quickly became part of the family, followed soon after by two wonderful children.
Golden became more than just a home—it became the foundation for everything I loved. I started "Golden Dreams Weddings and Events," a wedding planning company, coached skiing, and convinced my parents to leave Calgary and join us for their retirement here in Golden.
In 2022, I decided to take my passion for homes and community to the next level and became a real estate agent. This new chapter has been rewarding, though it hasn’t come without challenges. In 2023, I faced a stage three breast cancer diagnosis, but with the support of my family and this incredible community, I’m proud to say I’ve come out stronger and more determined than ever.
Today, you’ll find me balancing the chaos of raising teenage kids, building my business, and squeezing in time for skiing, mountain biking, and soaking up everything this beautiful mountain town offers.
Whether you’re buying your first home, selling your property, or dreaming of a mountain getaway, I’d be honoured to help guide you through the process. Golden isn't just where I live. It's where I have built my life, and I can’t wait to help you do the same.

New properties or pre-sales.
Substantially renovated homes.
Properties owned under a corporate name.
Short-term rental properties (e.g., Airbnb).
Properties with home-based businesses.
Assignments of pre-sales or resale of unoccupied pre-sale units.
Owner-built homes that haven't been lived in.
Properties part of a farm or sold as vacant lots.
If you're unsure whether GST applies to your transaction, consult a tax professional, accountant, or tax lawyer for specific advice before signing a Contract of Purchase and Sale.

Making my home, yours.
Why Golden?
“I love Golden because it’s more than just a beautiful mountain town — it’s a community that truly feels like home. The people here look out for one another, the pace is a little slower, and there’s always a reminder to step outside and enjoy the world around you.
From skiing in the winter to long summer evenings by the river, life here has a rhythm that feels real and connected. Golden gave my family a place to grow, and it’s the reason I’m so passionate about helping others find their home here too.”
