I am a native to Western New York, so I am well versed in the area to help you find your dream home.  Before becoming a REALTOR I worked as a dental assistant with the same dentist for almost two decades.  I felt a deep loyalty to the doctor I worked with, so when it was time to "switch gears" it was very hard to leave. 

In my spare time, I enjoy sewing, other needlework, reading, gardening and traveling.  I am involved in the food pantry and clothing ministry at my church. I love boating in the mighty Niagara River and Lake Erie and spending time with my husband, kids, friends and family. 

Since I feel that it's important to learn new things and improve my skills I frequently take continuing education classes and training in self improvement and different areas of real estate including financing, negotiating, technology, ethics and fair housing.   

I have brought my own experience of buying and selling homes into my real estate practice.  My first time selling a home I was very ignorant and naive.  Instead of asking friends and family "who would you refer as a real estate agent?", my husband and I called a real estate company and hired the first person we talked to.  With that being said and having no communication with the agents (yes, it was a team of two believe it or not).  From that experience I learned what not to do.  I am very compassionate about my clients and it is of utmost importance that I stay in contact with you before, during and after the transaction. I build my business by referral so I can spend my time with you, not looking for new business. Since running my business by referral, what's important to me is not the transaction, it is you!  My goal is to build a solid relationship with you and help you reach your goals.
