Everyone talks about discovering the Gorge when they find out what a beautiful place it is. Well I’m proud to say I didn’t have to "discover" the Gorge. I was born here! And so was my husband John. We own and operate a commercial fruit orchard on the Westside.

"Community" is very important to me. I’ve served on numerous committees and boards and continue to do so. I have been involved with Providence Hood River Memorial Hospital Foundation, Hood River Library fundraising, Rotary Golf Tournament and Butch Ogawa Memorial Scholarship Fund. I am currently a volunteer for the Columbia Gorge Center, American Legion Auxiliary, Hood River Classic Horse Show (a benefit for the PHRMH Foundation), Hood River County United Way and the Hood River Chamber of Commerce.

After having a 30 year career in two local businesses, the opportunity for a career change made me look around Hood River to see what I’d like to do. Real estate seemed perfect for many reasons: I’m so familiar with the Columbia Gorge; it’s a way for me to help others; it’s a field where attention to detail is very important and our company provides opportunities to continue learning about the latest real estate issues.

Because I’ve lived here my whole life and have been involved in organizations, businesses and activities, I know a lot of people whose contacts can be of great benefit when helping my clients. Let me introduce you to the Columbia Gorge I know.
