About Me...

Thank you for your interest in reading about me! As a native Southern Californian born and raised in Pasadena, CA, I have always been interested in Real Estate. Pulling out the Homes section of the Sunday paper and looking through beautiful properties was always a hobby of mine on the weekends as a young girl and adolescent. I studied Political Science and Finance in college at Stanford University and CSU, Long Beach. As a young professional having started my career in 2003, I am pleased to say that this is exactly what I am meant to do and I am here to stay. Even after you pay off your 30 year fixed mortgage I put you into just a few years ago, I will still be here. Try that with your local loan officer at the retail banks!
