Prior to becoming a Realtor, I worked for The Real Estate Book of Montgomery County for over 2 and a half years. My job was to put together ads for real estate professionals.  I am very familiar with the marketing of properties in my area.  I also completed a SCORE course at RACC which teaches how to plan, start, market and run your own business.  I am a member of the National Association of Realtors, PA Association of Realtors and the Reading-Berks Association of Realtors.  I also have worked as a legal assistant and notary in the past, and completed a business law course.  Other than real estate, I am a musician, teach piano, and am a freelance floral designer- specializing in weddings and catered events.  Historical homes, PA history and folklore, and antiques are a favorite items of interest.  I also love gardening, animals - especially cats - and support animal rescue/shelters.  I am an advocate of no-kill shelters and the "trap-neuter-spay-return" of feral cats.
