Personal Background

As a Native Californian, I was born in Los Angeles and lived in Austria for 2 years as a young girl. My family moved to Santa Barbara and years later I attended the University of California at Santa Barbara. After graduating, my husband and I spent 4 years in Illinois as newlyweds where I taught first and second grade. A job transfer brought us to the Bay Area in 1978 and in that year I passed my real estate licensee exam. I worked in the industry for two years earning the “Million Dollar” club designation, an acclaimed achievement at the time as homes were selling around $70,000- $125,000!

My husband and I have raised three daughters who graduated from the Palo Alto school system. With my past and present experience, I returned to Real Estate 5 years ago as a Sales Associate with my daughter who is already established in the business. Together we hope to bring you a hyper-local perspective on real estate, Peninsula living, and all things Bay Area.
