Tina transplanted to Grand Junction in 1996 and was attracted to the creative energy and closeness of a smaller community. She earned her bachelor's degree from Mesa State College where she started her professional career in Admissions recruiting students, then in Financial Aid assisting students finance their education. Eventually her career path led her to real estate in 2015 when she became licensed. Now working in residential real estate, Tina feels that she has found a way to bring together her extensive customer service and financial skills to one profession.
