I grew up in Eastern Washington in a military family and was taught a love for my country along with the importance of hard work and serving others. I attended North Central High School in Spokane, WA and moved to Portland, OR to attend Warner Pacific College. After graduation, I taught grade school music in Portland and worked in retail positions with Fred Meyer. I started working in the Real Estate industry in 1991 in support roles to Realtors and have 25 years’ experience in the Portland / Vancouver area. My various roles and experiences have included Transaction Coordinator, Real Estate Office Manager, Foreclosure Assistant, Bookkeeper, Assistant to the Designated Broker and Admin Assistant for a busy real estate team, specializing in Short Sales and REO listings. Now as a licensed broker in Washington, I have worked with both sellers and buyers, guiding them through the process to make their experience as smooth and stress free as possible. At Prune Hill Realty, I work with a team of brokers that have a great deal of experience, knowledge and integrity. Working closely with my associate, Cathi Byrd, together as Ruby Girls Real Estate, we are able to provide a high level of service to our clients. In my free time, my husband and I enjoy hiking and camping in this beautiful area that we live in. We especially enjoy traveling to tropical locations, like Hawaii. One of my favorite things is spending time with my daughters and grandkids.
