My Story 

When you experience what doctors even refer to as a “miracle”, it changes you.

My only sister, Jessica, miraculously survived being pulled from life support two weeks after suffering a sudden 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 to rebuild her entire life starting from the basics – successfully relearning everything from eating to brushing her teeth, reading, writing, and walking. 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’s ability to survive multiple, devastating medical diagnoses during her journey was due to the exceptional and compassionate care from medical providers. As one of her primary caregivers, I’m eternally grateful for the gift of having those five and a half years together.

In a world where healthcare professionals are burned out and under-appreciated, providing a real estate process that makes you feel truly cared for and supported is how I channel my deep appreciation.

I’m also proud to serve on various committees to support caregivers at St. Joseph Hospital in Denver and voluteer as a Peer Mentor at Craig Hospital in Englewood – supporting patients and families going through the trauma of brain injury and spinal cord injury.
