I grew up in the Central Valley, in Ripon, and after many years in the hot summer heat decided to make the move to Santa Cruz five years ago. I understand the appeal of the area for its perfect climate and unique access to both the beach and forest for surfers, bikers, runners, or hikers. As a runner and a teacher, I have learned the ins and outs of all the areas of Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties and understand the importance of finding the perfect area for your family. Whether you’re looking for a beachfront property, a home nestled away in the redwoods, or somewhere in between I will help you find the place to call home.
