I've always been drawn to helping and working with others. As a musician, I enjoyed educating students and watching them succeed as well as performing collectively with a group of performers. As a REALTOR®, I loved helping my clients with the buying or selling of a home, seeing their faces at the end of the process and continuing that relationship beyond the one transaction. In Disaster Recovery, being able to help people get back on their feet and after they've gone through such an ordeal was a reward in itself. As a member of the REALTOR® association administration at both the local and state levels, I provided real estate professionals with optimum services and benefits.My experience in the business, education, and social work fields has honed my skills to be very effective at organizing tasks and people, assessing situations and coming up with innovative ideas and solutions, contributing as a team player toward a common goal, and communicating clearly and effectively.
