There is not a single day that passes that I am not grateful for the opportunities, leadership and camaraderie that being involved in organizations like the Women’s Council of REALTORS® has blessed me with. My 16 years with this organization has certainly broadened my skills and given me boardroom experience that is vital for continual growth in other organizations within the community, such as Inland Valleys Association of REALTORS® where I am currently running for 2023-24 Treasurer.

I have been through the different cycles of real estate. Sellers’ markets, buyers’ markets, crashing markets and inflated markets like we see today. Numbers, charts and statistics have always fascinated me. I feel I can bring a unique perspective to the Inland Valleys board, as a homeowner and renter I have faced many challenges that I had to work through. I was born here in Riverside, I went to college here locally at RCC and CSUSB, my children went to school here and I am passionate about today’s issues in our community.
