How did you get started in your career?
Before my 15-year career with KB Home I was a buyer for May Dept. Stores, a national department store chain. My main responsibility was budgeting, merchandising, buying and product development of clothing for retail stores throughout Denver ( to include Fort Collins, Boulder and Colorado Springs). When May Company was bought out and merging with the Texas division I made a decision to leave retail. My transferrable skills opened many doors; first within the golf industry and then into advertising as an account rep with Miles Advertising which focuses on homebuilding. While at Miles I worked with many homebuilders and my path crossed with Rich Davis who was the VP of Sales & Marketing for KB Home. An opportunity opened with KB Home and I accepted the marketing position with the reasoning if I could buy merchandise for retail stores, I could buy media and merchandise homes for a homebuilder.
Has there been someone along the way that you credit with helping you get to where you are? And why?
What do you love about the Home Building industry?
- I love to ice skate, snowmobile and snow shoe.
- I have played the piano since I was in first grade.
- I travel as often as I can, love fine food & wine and design homes for my husband’s home remodeling company.
Anything else you would like to share?
I am a proud “gamma” (nickname my grandchildren gave me) of a boy 8 and girl 6 and travel to see them as often as I can get away.
