Here she mastered program management which currently contributes to her keen ability to oversee and monitor the entire process of a real estate transaction. She is currently a member of the Ojai Valley Board of Realtors (as well as a subscriber to the Ventura MLS), and the Ojai Chamber of Commerce. She helped to pioneer the Chamber’s Evening Business Referral Group serving as the Secretary, and she is actively involved in her sons’ school functions and other community events.

Her past and current experience as a Real Estate Appraiser (currently holds a Certified Real Estate Appraiser license, serving Ventura County since 2002) enables her to analyze market data, evaluate market conditions and trends, while having a firm handle on values in the area. Her wish is for this knowledge to benefit her clients throughout the buying/selling process.
