I have been in the Bay Area all my life. I was born in Oakland and when I was 10, my parents moved to a small town on the other side of the Caldecott Tunnel. It was called Walnut Creek and had a population of 14,000. Now Walnut Creek has 60,000 residents. After graduating from Pleasant Hill High School, I went on to study and graduate from San Francisco State University. Upon graduation, I enter my first profession, accounting. Starting as a staff accountant many years ago, I worked my way to the top and became Controller. Most of my accounting career was spent in the manufacturing environment and this is where I met my husband. Dan and I have been married over 26 years and have two sons. Besides selling real estate, I love to hang out with my friends from high school, go to rock concerts with my husband and being with my family.
