My Story 

When you experience what doctors even refer to as a “miracle”, it changes you. My passion for giving back to healthcare professionals was born from a life-changing experience being on the receiving end of stellar care from doctors, nurses, therapists, and paramedics in Denver over a span of years.

My only sister, Jessica, miraculously survived being pulled from life support two weeks after suffering a cardiac arrest in 2017 at age 40. When she woke up, it became apparent that she was left with a severe anoxic brain injury. From there, she underwent extensive rehab – successfully relearning everything from swallowing to walking, to reading & writing. To complicate things further, she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019 which she fought for 3 years until her passing in June 2022.

Jessica was only able to survive multiple devastating medical diagnoses over a 5.5 year journey due to truly exceptional and compassionate care from medical providers. As one of her primary caregivers, I will always be eternally grateful for the gift of having those years together.

Returning a high level of care and support to make the real estate process exceptional for healthcare professionals is how I choose to show my deep appreciation.

I am proud to serve on both the Patient & Family Advisory Council and Performance Excellence Committee at St. Joseph Hospital in Denver. I also spend my weekends volunteering as a Peer Mentor at Craig Hospital in Englewood, sharing my lived experience to help support patients and families going through the trauma of brain injury and spinal cord injury.
