Being married to a ranch manager, Sandy lived and worked on ranches in Texas and Arizona with her husband, Doug, for more than 25 years. Though much of her time was spent joining in with the day-to-day operations of the ranches, she also pursued her own interests and careers - from working with a racehorse trainer in Texas, to spending eight years as the Principal and teacher of a one-room, private, K-12 school in Sonoita, AZ.

In 2012, Sandy decided to embark on a career in the real estate business. Because of her background on cattle ranches and her love of the rural life, she decided to focus and specialize in rural real estate. She represents primarily cattle ranches and unique horse properties, but has also worked with farms, vineyards, and vacant rural land. She loves working with the unique properties and especially the people drawn to rural living. She joined Headquarters West, Ltd., shortly after returning to school and upgrading to a Broker's License in 2015.

Sandy was accepted and graduated as a member of Class XXV of The Center for Rural Leadership (Project CENTRL). Project CENTRL is a rural leadership training program focused on strengthening the rural communities of Arizona. Sandy has served on the local School Board, been involved with the local Fire Department, and is an active member of her community.
