About Me
A native of rural and small town Michigan, I grew up in a family where women sold clothing by the armful, fruits and vegetables by the ton, awnings and shades by the truckload, and paint and wallpaper by the household. As a youngster my grandmother posted me at her farmhouse road stand to to sell produce to Sunday shoppers.
Years later I was graduated cum laude from Michigan State University and earned the Lantern Night Award for outstanding service to school and community. An internship brought me to the District of Columbia where I studied housing and other issues at The Urban Institute, a public policy think tank. Several years later the private sector beckoned with real estate sales, beginning in a small office on Washington’s Capitol Hill.
I am a member in good standing of the National Association of REALTORS; Maryland Association of REALTORS; Greater Capital Area Association of REALTORS (served the Contracts and Clauses and Grievance Committees); and Bright MLS.
Spare time activities include catch-and-release fishing, road trips, and gardening. I’ve served as Co-Chair of Takoma Park, MD's annual House and Garden Tour; became Chief Judge for Montgomery County, MD's Board of Elections; and have contributed countless hours to community volunteer work. Home is a quiet split-level in “Beautiful Hillandale,” a Silver Spring, Maryland neighborhood.
