I am a native Sacramentan, born and raised in South Land Park. I attended Sutterville Elementary School, Sam Brannan Middle School, C.K. McClatchy High School and received my Bachelor of Science degree at Oregon State University in 1974. I worked as a buyer of childrens wear at Lawrences, a local department store, for nine years and as the manager of a family owned ski rack company for another 9 years. My husband, Dick and I moved into Land Park in 1979 and loved raising our three children here. They now own their own homes in the Land Park area.

In 1995 I earned both my real estate license and brokers license. I am priviledged to be a member of the Sacramento Association of Realtors Master's Club, selling more than 4 million dollars worth of property each year since 1996. I enjoy being the Chairperson of the Grievance Commitee for the Sacramento Association of Realtors.

When I am not working with clients, I enjoy walking our two unruly English Springer Spaniels, working in our yard or the latest home project or playing with our granddaughter.

My most recent rediscovery is my love of art.  I was an art major in college and in 2006, had an opportunity to start creating again.  I sculpt bronze animals in the lost wax method.  My subjects are animals and birds, both domestic such as dogs and cats and wild, such as meerkats, flamingos and penguins.  It is a great joy I work with in my spare time.

I am fortunate to live and work in the area in which I specialize - Land Park.  I also specialize in the older neighborhoods of East Sacramento and Curtis Park. I am drawn to the character and the unique architecture of each home in these tree-canopied neighborhoods featuring beautiful parks. Growing up in South Land Park, I also have experience in selling homes in this wonderful established neighborhood.

Be sure to check my blog for current issues facing these fine older neighborhoods.
