I am a native Californian. I have lived in both the northern and southern parts of the state.  I graduated from UCLA with a degree in History. My professional life, prior to taking a break to raise kids, was with Hilton Hotels Corp, Santa Anita Racetrack (Marketing), and a  National Convention Sales Manager with the Greater Los Angeles Visitors and Convention Bureau.  Moves to Houston, and Charlotte, NC, enabled me to really understand the difficulties of moving a family of 5 to another city.  My move back to my home state of California in 2003, was extremely smooth because of Century 21 Superstars.  The level of service that I received convinced me Real Estate transactions can be relatively easy with the help of a Professional Realtor.  I realized that I wanted to help other families make a smooth move too!  Because of my affiliation with Century 21 Superstars, my clients benefit from the excellent level of service on every transaction. I have worked with Century 21 Superstars in all aspects of the Real Estate business, including advertising, marketing, contract preparation and negotiation, and comparative market analysis. I also work closely with Transaction Coordination and Escrow to understand all sides of the sale and purchase of a home.  I have also attended many professional development workshops and seminars and developed a close network of industry professionals that add a layer of expertise to attend to the details of every transation.  These professionals are represented in the loan, title, appraisal, inspection, insurance and related fields.

Personally, I enjoy being involved in my kids school activities, pilates and yoga, my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, "Thatcher", reading & discussing books, and the beach! My oldest son just graduated with a degree in economics from Harvard, and is working in the assest management field.  I have another son heading off to college, and a daughter entering her senior year in high school at Mission Viejo High.

In my past lives I have enjoyed scuba diving the islands of Maui, Cozumel, Jamaica and the Bahamas, and skiing in the winter months.
