Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, I attended college locally at Pennsylvania State University, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Latin American Studies. Seeking sunshine and looking for a place to establish roots with my family, I began my trek across the country, stopping in Missouri and Louisiana before finally settling down in Arizona in 1986. We found our home in the Scottsdale
neighborhood of McCormick Ranch, where I currently sit on the board of a Homeowner Association and still reside today. My youngest son completed his education through the Scottsdale school system, and now he and his older brother have established their own roots in the Scottsdale area. As a resident of Scottsdale for over 25 years now, I have a unique knowledge of what the real estate market has to offer, making it a natural transition into the network of real estate professionals. I guide my clients through the buying or selling process with an ease and comfort level only a local could offer. In addition to assisting buyers and sellers, I also do property management. As a REALTOR on the Arizona Fine Properties Team, I am an active member of the Scottsdale Area Association of REALTORS, the Arizona Association of REALTORS and the National Association of REALTORS. I have earned my Associate Buyer Representative Certification and, in 2007, became a graduate of the Scottsdale Association of REALTORS Leadership Class XI. I am a Graduate of the REALTOR Institute, a Certified Distressed Property Agent, Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource Agent, Property Management Agent, and have a Master of Real Estate Society Certification. Most recently, I have become certified as a Negotiation Expert. In my free time, I enjoy the outdoors with my partner, Greg and our Bouvier de Flanders, Ancho. I love reading, bird watching, swimming, hiking, and traveling through the beautiful surroundings of the Arizona desert. While at home, I love to cook and entertain my three children, their spouses, and my five grandchildren.
