GVPOA Board

Since moving from Colorado Springs to Glen Vista in 2020, I’ve been grateful to call this beautiful community home. I’ve been a licensed real estate broker since 1986, and I’ve enjoyed getting to know so many of you through my work here in the neighborhood. My background includes working for a new home builder in Colorado Springs—most of which were in HOA communities—and serving on the Meridian Ranch Design Review Council, where I helped manage the covenant review process.

Since joining Glen Vista, I’ve been an active member of our POA Wildfire Committee, focusing on sharing resources and information to keep our community safe. I’d like to bring my experience from both the Meridian Ranch HOA and the Colorado Association of REALTORS® Project Wildfire to the GVPOA Board in a way that supports property values, protects our natural beauty, and keeps Glen Vista a place we’re all proud to live.
