Richelle grew up in Hollister, California.  She received her Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and Administration of Justice from SJSU.  Upon graduation she put her learned skills to work and served her community for 17 years as a 911 Call-taker for the San Jose Police Dept. In 2015, Richelle chose a new career in Real Estate where she could bring that same desire for helping people with honesty, integrity, and enthusiasm.  She is known for “going the extra mile” for our clients. Her calm and friendly demeanor has served her well in working through high-stress situations, while putting our client’s best interests first, and working tirelessly on their behalf.  As a certified “Santa Cruz County Pro” Realtor, and having lived in San Benito, Santa Clara, and Santa Cruz counties, Richelle has an extensive knowledge of the area and what it has to offer. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her kids (Mackenzie 17 & Trevor 14), mountain biking and hiking local trails, traveling, woodworking, and volunteering as a leader in her church’s Middle & High School Youth Groups and co-leader in her daughter's Girl Scout Troop.
