Professional Bio

I began investing in real estate in the 1980s, building a moderate portfolio that has since grown significantly. In 2004, I took my passion for real estate a step further by becoming a licensed real estate agent in California. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of helping countless buyers and sellers successfully navigate the complexities of our ever-changing real estate market.

Educational and Personal Background

My educational background is as diverse as the real estate market itself. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Physics and later earned a Master of Fine Arts from Parsons School of Design.

I have been married for over 43 years and am blessed with two children and three grandchildren. My family and I reside in Temecula’s Wine Country, just off the scenic De Portola Wine Trail.

We are active participants in Temecula’s vibrant equestrian community, where we import, train, and compete with sport horses in all levels of Eventing.

Life Beyond Real Estate

When I’m not working, my husband and I enjoy staying active through mountain biking, working out, and indulging in our shared love of water sports. As former competitive swimmers, we’ve always been drawn to the water, and I hope to join a Master’s swimming program one day—once I find the perfect “head-to-toe” bathing suit!

Our home is a haven for rescued animals. From dogs and cats to pigs, our “Motley Crew” is a cherished part of the family. While the horses don’t live on our property, they certainly would if space allowed!

Challenges and Resilience

In 2008, I faced a life-changing cancer diagnosis, with only a 30% chance of survival. Thankfully, after a tough battle, I have been cancer-free since 2010. This experience taught me the value of perseverance and the importance of cherishing every moment.

In 2012, my mother-in-law was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. As her condition progressed, she required full-time care, and I chose to step away from my real estate career to care for her until her passing in 2023.

Moving Forward

These experiences have shaped my approach to life and work, fostering resilience, empathy, and an unwavering commitment to helping others achieve their goals. I’m excited to bring this perspective back to my real estate career and look forward to continuing to serve my clients with dedication and expertise.
