Here is a synopsis of who I am, where I’ve been and what I can do to help you through your real estate journey:
I grew up on Long Island, New York and completed High School and a Practical Nursing Course in 1979. I had always wanted to do humanitarian work and travel the world, so I joined the Army as a Combat Medic not long after graduating from nursing school. Because of my medical training, the Army placed me as a Practical Nurse. The majority of my career I worked in Maternal Child Health which included Neonatal Intensive Care, OB/GYN, pediatrics, Mother-Baby Unit, Labor and Delivery and many other areas of nursing. I met my husband while teaching the Combat Medical and Paramedic Courses at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. We have been married for over 31 years, have two wonderful children who are young adults and two little furry babies:)
I was lucky to be assigned at places like Walter Reed Army Medical Center near Washington, DC, and Tripler Army Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. I was deployed to Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War, I learned how lucky we are as Americans. Near the end of my Army career, I was assigned as an advisor to an Army Reserve hospital unit at Vancouver Barracks. I chose to remain in the beautiful Northwest, and retired from the Army in 1999 and became the Community Outreach Coordinator for Vancouver/Clark Department of Parks and Recreation.
I always enjoyed shopping and getting great deals so when some of my friends suggested I get in real estate in 2006, I thought I might enjoy helping others find great deals on their homes. I am comfortable working with a wide range of clients such as first-time home buyers, military veterans, homeowners interested in upgrading, and investors taking advantage of our current low-interest rates and home prices. I absolutely love the real estate business and the lasting relationships I have built with my clients.
Over 7 years ago I became an Affiliate Realtor for Homes for Heroes to thank them for their service to all our local heroes including Police, Firefighters, Active Military, Veterans, Teachers, and All Health Care Providers.
In my free time, I love giving back to our community. Currently a volunteer leader of the immunization clinic/advisory board member at the Free Clinic of Southwest Washington and Co-Chair Operations for Community Military Appreciation Committee giving back to all our local heroes and several other organizations.
I love family time, walking trails taking in nature, pilates, bowling, escape rooms, skiing, riding my Can-Am Spyder and living life to its fullest:)
