She has worked with Kevin McCarty of McCarty Land & Water Valuation, Inc. (2019 to present), and previously with Michael Nash of Nash-Johnson Associates, Inc. (2013-2019).  She has additional research and consulting experience in the public and private sectors on policy, economic, and real estate market trends related to land use and land use change as well as ecosystem services (i.e. carbon sequestration, endangered species banking, and water markets) starting with her work during and after graduate school.

She moved to Colorado in 2007 after finishing her undergraduate degree and traveling in South America. She attended the University of Colorado, Boulder receiving a master’s in business administration (MBA) with an emphasis in real estate, and a Master of Science (MS) degree in Environmental Studies. Her continued interest in land use, land use change, and conservation of natural resources, including land and water, encouraged her to pursue and receive her Certified General Appraisal license.
