I am an attorney, gerontologist, and real estate broker. In working with my clients, my focus is to educate them about the process of their transaction and to prevent liability.

I was born in San Francisco and lived in Burlingame, Campbell, Los Gatos, and the Cambrian Park area of San Jose. I grew up with real estate. From a young age, I helped my parents renovate and rent out the homes they bought as investments.  I graduated from the Haas School of Business at the University of California at Berkeley.  I then attended law school and graduated from Golden Gate University School of Law.  I began my professional career as an attorney at a small boutique law firm in San Francisco where I was a litigator in federal court.  I handled a number of high profile cases and represented clients in real estate matters, contracts, employment issues, elder law, and consumer protection matters.

Having been a licensed real estate broker since 1997, I returned to real estate in 2009. In order to better represent the real estate needs of the aging population in my community, I earned a Master's in Gerontology from San Francisco State University in 2012.  I am alsco a Certified Senior Advisor and a Seniors Real Estate Specialist.

Throughout my real estate career, I have represented both buyers and sellers in residential real estate transactions and worked with investors to identify ideal investment properties, My goal is to provide outstanding customer service to my clients while paying attention to the details so that my clients have the best possible representation in their real estate transactions.  I have honesty and integrity and never pressure people to buy something that doesn't meet their needs.  Having my clients understand the real estate transaction process is important to me, and I take the time to translate the legalese in the documents into plain English so that my clients understand everything and can make an informed decision.  So that I can always provide outstanding service to my clients, I limit the number of clients I work with.

Being able to contribute to the community is important to me, and when I am not selling real estate, I volunteer with Heart of the Valley Services for Seniors and foster dogs for Dachshund Rescue (www.scdr.org)
