Personal Background

Sonoma County has been my home since 1973, when I moved to Occidental with my young and growing family. We bought our first home and lived in West County for nine years, creating community through work, volunteerism, raising and sharing food, supporting the arts and environmental initiatives, and engaging with other young families in sharing the ups and downs of parenthood.

In 1982 we moved to the big city, Santa Rosa! My family flourished, attending highly –rated public school; all graduated from Santa Rosa High School. Each was able to pursue higher education and a path in life according to his/her dream (not always in a straight line!)

From the time my children were infants, I maintained a foot in various entrepreneurial pursuits as well as the world of non-profit management. Starting in 1983, I worked for more than 20 years I worked professionally in community development and fundraising for the Jewish Community Federation and JCC, Sonoma County, making connections and building relationships throughout Sonoma County and the Bay Area. My passion in life is building community.

For the past 10 years, I have pursued a career in real estate, entering the market as a sales professional at the “peak” of the bubble, then maintaining and thriving under the most difficult market circumstances. I am a Realtor, focused on selling properties in all cities and unincorporated areas of Sonoma County, from the City of Sonoma to West County, Cloverdale to Petaluma, with the bulk of my business in Santa Rosa.

My life-long interests include bird-watching, reading, gardening, hiking, camping, cycling, enjoying music and dance, and creating wonderful memories with family.
