One of the most significant risks I've taken was quitting my full-time job at the age of 20 to pursue getting my real estate license. The arrival of COVID-19 severely impacted the restaurant industry, leaving me with very little income. Living 100% on my own and responsible for all my bills, I decided to make the uncertain decision to quit my job and solely focus on getting my real estate license. Terrified but hopeful, I trusted my instincts that real estate would lead to success—and indeed, it did!

Recently, the biggest challenge I have overcome personally was running for Miss Colorado! I had never done a pageant before, but thought to myself, “Why not?”. One of my goals I had for 2023 was to step outside of my comfort zone and do something I’ve never done before. Going up against girls who have been doing this for decades, have had training and experience was intimidating alone, but the mindset I had going into this was whatever happens, happens and if anything, I will have gotten over my fear of public speaking, and singing in front of a large audience! I am extremely proud of the outcome and receiving 2nd runner-up out of 21 women. One of my favorite quotes is,” Comfort is the enemy of achievement.” I will always push myself outside of my comfort to continue to grow and be the best version of myself!

Having been in the business for a short two and a half years, there is one specific moment that I am extremely honored and proud of myself for. In 2022, this was my first full year in real estate and I had sold just under $3,500,000 in volume which resulted in me receiving the “Rookie of the Year” award at my brokerage! I will never forget what my team lead, Gary Martinez, said when he announced that I had received the award, “If you guys want to look at the future Amy...” and pointed to me. Amy has been and will continue to be the best REALTOR in the Colorado Springs market, and to receive a compliment to that magnitude, was a very humbling and proud moment for myself.

Though there are so many people in my life that I admire, there is one specific person that comes to mind. Rachel Stevens, my team lead, has been an instrumental part of my growth not only as an agent but as a person. Rachel is one of those people that has a leadership mentality and genuinely wants the best for you. She is a wife, a mother of five, and a business owner and if there is one word to describe Rachel, it is, inspirational. She inspires me to be a better person, a better agent, and to believe in myself even when I have doubts. I can not imagine what my life would be today if I didn’t have her as a part of my story, and I am forever grateful to have her in my life!

Seeing Adele in concert!

I wanted to be a lawyer when I grew up. 

My theme song is a Jazz compilation from 1952 that was written by Nat King Cole, Unforgettable.

My very first job was at a small restaurant in Woodland Park called Carmens! I was a hostess, then server/bartender for about five years! 

I couldn’t live without my boyfriend, family, friends, and my cats!
