Mission Statement: I am committed to providing such excellent service that you will want to refer me to your friends and family.
As a single parent I went back to college to get a good job to take care of my daughter. I got a degree in Electronics Technology and a terrific job with Hewlett Packard. Nineteen years later, the company had spun off Agilent Technologies and me with it, and I had gone through various promotions including Senior Technician, Technician Supervisor, IC Product Engineer and Unix System Engineer. While I loved my job for most of that time, I was ready for a change. My husband (of 12 years) and I wanted to return to the Central Valley where we both grew up, and live a quieter lifestyle away from the stresses of the San Francisco Bay Area. I fell in love with Merced. This town has the friendliest and most generous people I have ever met. I am excited about the opportunities in this town and happy to be part of the growth and changes happening here.
My husband, Larry, has retired from Drywall construction, and I felt that Real Estate would allow me to work with and help people, while allowing me a more flexible schedule to spend time with him.
Allow me to help you buy or sell your next home.
