I'm a real estate agent in Long Beach. I've lived and worked in Long Beach for 25 years, and I've had an interest in real estate for as long as I can remember. Even before I was a real estate agent, I loved walking or driving through various neighborhoods admiring beautiful homes and landscaping. I've also enjoyed talking to people about their homes, their neighborhoods, and the real estate market, in general. Owning a home can be very gratifying, and I enjoy the process of getting people there.

I have a master's degree in Applied Anthropology, and I've spent many years working in the field of behavioral health research and evaluation. The two fields are obviously different, and both are rewarding, but I found that real estate allows me to follow my passion for homes and the field of real estate, while applying skills I've acquired as a researcher and a project manager. As a mother of three young sons and a person married to a Long Beach high school teacher, I feel very attached to my community. Working in real estate is an extension of this.
