I have had the opportunity to live and work in some of the most beautiful communities in California, ranging from the San Francisco East Bay to South Orange County and now the beautiful Sierra Foothills. I began my real estate career back in 1980 upon graduating from the University of California, Berkeley. I accepted an administrative position at a real estate trade association and have been working in the real estate industry ever since.

In 1986, after administering arbitration and educational services at the Oakland Board of REALTORS, I went to work for a major California Developer in Contra Costa County and also obtained my real estate license. Two years later, I was offered the position of Administrative Director and Vice President of Member Services at the Contra Costa Association of REALTORS. After five years, my husband’s work relocation to Southern California afforded me the privilege of managing the MLS services for the Laguna Board of Realtors and later serving as the Administrative Coordinator at Grubb & Ellis and Prudential CA Real Estate Services. At theses offices, I assisted over 42 agents with marketing materials, sales research and home tours. I possess six years experience in full time residential real estate sales and an additional two years in commercial real estate sales.

For over 23 years, I have serviced the real estate industry, and have committed myself to volunteer service work throughout the communities I reside in. My professional skills encompass the following:

- Real Estate Sales, Negotiations, Contracts, Escrow Procedures, Development, City Planning, Leasing and Property Management - Residential, Commercial and Income Property Appraisal Work - Association and Office Administration - Marketing, Media Relations, Graphics Design and Publications - Community Relations and Charitable Fundraising
