I moved to Kauai with my husband, Mike, our son, Cody, in 1993. We were looking for a wholesome environment to raise our son and we saw Kauai as an ideal place. I starting working for Makai Properties in 1994 and spear-headed the first real estate office on Kauai's west side with the opening of Makai Properties' in Waimea. We have since become a Coldwell Banker franchise.  When not working, I can be found helping my husband with restoration projects. We find old homes from the 1930s and '40s and bring them back to life. I am a board member of the Kauai Veteren's Memorial Hospital Charitable Foundation, the Westside Community Development Corp. and past President of the West Kauai Rotary Club.
