Born and raised in the Portland Suburbs to a family whose roots remain firmly planted in the beautiful Pacific NW, my path into real estate began in the escrow industry back in 2002. Two years later I was offered an opportunity as the marketing/office manager of a start-up real estate agency on quickly growing Mississippi Ave. in North Portland- a position which led to my becoming a licensed agent after a move to Olympia, Washington. Years later and feeling homesick, I returned to Portland and continue to assist my clients in the search and procuring of happy homes, which is something that I love and feel very honored to do for a living. I am truly a natural born assistant and consider real estate sales to be one of the highest forms of that. I’ve lived in the Alameda neighborhood of NE Portland for 5 years and often frequent the nearby parks with my husband (and fellow Realtor) James, daughter Teagan and our old and loyal black lab, Max.
