I moved to this beautiful coastal area in 1973 as I love being close to the Pacific Ocean, the redwood forest and the open coastal meadows. Prior to becoming a full time real estate sales associate in 1986, I was involved in purchasing land, building and remodeling homes. Entering sales was a natural progression. Over the years, I have served on the governing boards of a local elementary school and an organization that assist individuals in domestic violence situations. I have also served on local committees and as a substitute teacher. My love of photography and painting introduced me to framing and mat cutting.
