info_outlinereal estate industry. A former professional skier who
endured nine knee surgeries and two neck operations,
Athena’s initial impression of real estate was far from
positive—viewing REALTORS as dime-a-dozen salespeople.
But a life-changing mentorship and her own unstoppable
drive transformed her skepticism into passion. Over the last
decade, Athena has risen to become one of Colorado’s
most trusted and top-performing REALTORS, blending sharp
market insight, unmatched negotiation skills, and a creative
eye for design that unlocks the true potential of every
property.
What sets Athena apart isn’t just her professional expertise —it’s her remarkable story of resilience. After being
diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease, Athena faced
debilitating challenges that could have ended her career.
Instead, she turned adversity into her superpower, rebuilding
her business with even greater focus and purpose. Today,
Athena inspires audiences by sharing hard-won lessons on
overcoming setbacks, building a relationship-driven
business, and leveraging real estate as a tool for financial
freedom. Whether mentoring agents, guiding buyers and
investors, or captivating podcast listeners, Athena’s
authenticity, innovative strategies, and commitment to
empowering others make her an unforgettable voice in both
real estate and personal development.
