Lena began her real estate career in Lompoc, CA with ERA Hunter Realty selling residential homes, and has since worked in all aspects of property management, leasing, and real estate sales. She raised her family in the Santa Ynez Valley, and has bought, rented and sold her own properties over the years. Most recently, Lena worked as the Leasing Manager at Battaglia Commercial Real Estate, which she feels has been invaluable to broaden her real estate knowledge and develop relationships with leaders and mentors in the real estate industry, and the local community. Lena graduated from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo in 1982 with a degree in Business Administration and a concentration in Accounting. Lena was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, immigrated with her family to California when she was 4, and eventually settled in the quaint Danish town of Solvang. Because a healthy lifestyle is important to her, she’s an independent consultant for Arbonne International and teaches group exercise at the local YMCA. In her spare time, you might find her at the beach, playing tennis, listening to live music somewhere, or cheering her grandkids on at the sports field.
