I am honored to be nominated to serve on the Board of the Historical Preservation Alliance. I moved to Colorado Springs in August 2019 after a 23-year career with a private development firm in Houston, Texas, where I served as Regional Supervisor overseeing the construction, management, and maintenance of multiple luxury mid-rise communities. My work spanned the full project lifecycle—from conceptual design and construction to ensuring each property became a vibrant asset to its community. In the latter part of my career, I had the privilege of collaborating with nationally and internationally recognized design firms, including Gensler and Studio Bespoke. Over the last decade, my passion for bringing vision and purpose to existing historic structures has deepened, particularly since making Colorado Springs my home. Since relocating, I have supported my husband’s commercial civil construction company, Terra Builders LLC, in various roles, gaining valuable insight into the critical early stages of building—where quality and longevity truly begin. Outside of work, I am a proud mother to one daughter and “Gigi” to two wonderful grandchildren in Sandpoint, Idaho. My husband Stephan and I have been together since 2002, sharing a love of travel, hiking, gardening, and healthy cooking. We aspire to become expert campers in the years ahead, though our favorite escape remains the remote islands of the Bahamas. I look forward to contributing my experience, energy, and dedication to the mission of the Historical Preservation Alliance, and to working alongside the board to preserve and celebrate the history that enriches our community.
