As a child growing up in the San Fernando Valley north of Los Angeles, I wanted to live in the country - to be able to ride my horses in the mountains, and live near rivers and lakes. That dream brought me to central Oregon in 1983. After 25 years working as a legal assistant, I took a leap of faith and obtained my Realtor's license in 2002 and I have never looked back. My years in the real estate industry have blessed me with a strong referral based business due in large part to my business ethics, my honesty and integrity, my area knowledge, my prompt communication, and my desire to give my clients the best service possible. I followed my dream and I'm ready to help you follow yours.

Helping my clients achieve their real estate goals is what drives me each day. Whether it's buying, selling, up-sizing, down-sizing, a first home, an investment property, a second home, or relocating into or out of Central Oregon, I strive to provide outstanding service to each of my clients. I am passionate about living in Central Oregon and am fortunate to raise my family here. We are often spending time outdoors with our dogs and enjoy going on walks, bike rides, as well as going camping. I also have served on the Central Oregon Association of Realtors Board of Directors, as the Women's Council of Realtors Central Oregon President, and on various committees. I'm honored to be in the Oregon Realtors Leadership Academy in 2022, and serve as an Oregon Realtors State Director (2021-2022).

I learn what clients want and need and then I get to work to make those dreams reality! I learn how they prefer to communicate and what unique needs they have. I look at myself as an ambassador for each client...always looking out for their best interest. I work well with the many other vendors involved in my real estate transactions and regular communication is key! Whether buying or selling, I aim to make my clients informed, comfortable and confident that I'm doing my best for them.

I have been a licensed real estate broker since 2007. I am a long time Oregon resident who specializes in Residential, Luxury, Investment, Farm, Bank Owned, Short Sale and International properties. My dedication to service and work ethic has earned many awards in both production and sales. I understand firsthand the stresses and hassles involved in the buying, selling and relocation process and strive to alleviate these concerns for my clients and make the transaction as smooth as possible.
