As a Realtor®, my goal is to build long lasting relationships based on trust. I pride myself in being honest, trustworthy, knowledgeable about the market, detail-oriented, and caring. I understand that a real estate transaction is a complex process with many steps, and that for most people it is the most important transaction they make in a life time. I treat this process and the people involved, my clients, with the utmost care, diligence, and integrity. My promise to you is that I will always listen to you, I will call you back in a timely manner, I will pay attention to the many details, I will work hard to solve any problems that arise, I will persevere in getting your questions answered, and I will do whatever else it takes to get the job done in a timely manner, in a process that is as smooth and enjoyable for you as possible.

I have been an active real estate agent in the Portland market for 8+ years, and also bring to the table my background as an Engineer in the Environmental field, and training as a teacher. I am a lifelong learner and continue to educate myself in hopes of providing my clients with the highest level of service and professional guidance. I have earned my Broker's license, the designation of Accredited Buyer's Representative, and am currently pursuing my CRS designation (Certified Residential Specialist). I am an active volunteer in the community, and enjoy a variety of interests. Details of my educational background, experience, community involvement, and interests are highlighted below. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile, and I hope to work with you as your Realtor® now or sometime in the future!
