A little about me...

Born at George Air Force Base, my family moved to San Diego when I was about six months old as my dad retired from the United States Air Force to start his career as a commercial airline pilot for the beloved PSA and then US Airways. My family enjoyed the rural lifestyle and I grew up with horses and enjoying the outdoors. I started playing tennis competitively at the age of 10 and I competed on the Southern California Circuit until College. Growing up, my mom owned and ran her own Montessori School in Ramona that she sold, but is still open today! I have always had a love for teaching and early childhood education so my career started off working in Montessori Schools.

In 2003, I moved to Mammoth to pursue another passion, rock climbing, and to help my sister with her business and their newborn son. Quickly after moving to Mammoth, I met my husband Pete – we were married in Mammoth and started our family there as well. In 2005, I founded and ran Mammoth Montessori Children’s House which I operated full-time for about 10 years. It was a great experience to run my own successful business which was an integral part of our community and to follow in my mom’s footsteps. In 2014, my husband and I and our two kids moved to San Diego when my dad was diagnosed with cancer.

My family and I love San Diego – we enjoy boating, hiking, and being tourists in our own town! Our kids, Grace 16, and Sawyer 13 are active in school, and the community– our son plays baseball with a local club team. Our schedule is kept busy with our kids but we love it. I still find time to volunteer with Make-A-Wish, St. Jude, and Poway Soroptimist. My husband, Pete, has been working in real estate full-time for 20 years and we make a great team – trust, integrity, hard work, and results – Our goal is to leverage our great teamwork and knowledge to help our clients buy and sell real estate in San Diego.

"I had a great experience working with Janicke Swanson & Associates, especially considering I was working with a tight timeline.
