After graduating from Missouri State University in 1989 with a BS in Political Science Degree specializing in Paralegal Studies, I worked with a Legal Firm in Springfield, MO servicing clients with large Real Estate holdings (such as John Q. Hammons, a multi-billion dollar real estate investor http://www.jqhhotels.com/home.aspx).  My husband's company relocated our family of six to Des Moines, Iowa in August of 2000, where I worked with Attorney Wayne Wilson providing estate planning for clients, many with large real estate holdings.  In November of 2003, my husband's company relocated our family to Warwick, NY where I took a position as a personal assistant to a local Real Estate Broker that had been in the business for more than 30 years.  In December of 2006, the Broker retired and closed her buisness.  At that point, I decided to venture into the role of Real Estate Agent.
