After growing up in Austria, I moved to Colorado for college. Sunshine, skiing, and hiking sealed the passion for living here. My husband and I have lived in Boulder for 18 years, we have 2 sons (1 in college/ 1 in highshool), and a Labrador Retriever named Aspen. My last few years have been at a Pediatric clinic. When I'm not keeping up with my highschool son's sports schedule, I love to travel, cook new vegan dishes, and am always looking for the newest dark chocolate bar! Life motto: Let go of the things you cannot change

Bio
My career started in Television, working for a small News/Production company on Capitol Hill. During my 5-year experience I worked in various roles; editing tape, running camera, audio and teleprompters, handling satellite uplinks/downlinks, tape roll-ins and live shots. I participated in multiple studio productions, satellite media tours and covered numerous hearings. I also worked with E! Channel, Inside Edition, CNN and several government agencies. In 2000 I decided that I needed a change and transitioned into the IT world. I worked in the corporate sector as a Systems/Network Administrator for the last 18 years with the Richard Petty Driving Experience, Strategic Power Systems, Inc. and Cimtec Automation. I recently relocated to the area, leaving the East Coast and corporate world behind to join the amazing team here at BCD in beautiful Boulder, Colorado!

In my free time I really enjoy exploring the great outdoors; I’m very passionate about mountain biking and look forward to riding all the amazing trails that Colorado has to offer. I also enjoy movies, traveling, skiing, bowling, golf, tennis and soccer.
