Q. What do you love about your profession?

A. Real estate is an ever changing business; from the clients, to the houses, to the transactions. I love the people that I meet and the variety in the business day to day.

Q. How did you choose that profession?

A. After moving back to Reno and purchasing our own home, I was disappointed that I didn’t have a reason to look at houses anymore! So I got my license and dove right in.

Q. What’s your favorite (memory) from your Undergrad?

A. I remember staying up all night my freshman year working on the Tri Delta freshman float. Homecoming week was THE BEST!

Q. What made you decide to be a COBAA Member?

A. Now that my children have all left and gone to college, I wanted to find an outside interest to jump into. After a friend told me about her participation in COBAA, I realized it would be a great way for me to spend my extra time, meet new people, and be involved in the community!

Q. Tell us about life after college:

A. I have been married for 26 years and have three grown children; a UNR grad, a senior at Boise State, and a freshman at UNR. My husband and I owned our own business and lived in Yerington for 14 years before moving back to Reno in 2006. We currently work together in real estate and are enjoying our empty nest at home.
