I am a native Californian raised on the Monterey Peninsula. I moved to San Diego County in 1982 on a mission to find sunshine and the excitement of a bigger city. I instantly fell in love here and felt at home.

I have a wonderful family, who puts up with my energy and enthusiasm of life. My husband, Les is a North County 911-Dispacher and is my best friend. We enjoy traveling, wine tasting, hiking, and entertaining family and friends. Les and I invited my Mother, Pat to come live with us in 2005 and we enjoy her immensely. Mom and I are kindred spirits when it comes to our passion to give back through our community service with Oceanside Pacific Kiwanis. I have two wonderful sons, Josh and Thomas, who I just can’t seem to get enough time with these days. I love spending time with them on the golf course, hanging out at home, and enjoy watching them interact with others socially. Our family pets, Duke and Boris (rescue puppy and kitty) are the most loving pets we’ve ever owned and a big part of all our lives.

My career experiences are broad, including extensive experience in customer service, project management, events and facility evaluations, as well as international wines, and the real estate industry. My experiences in these areas have been accredited to my current success with Alta Vista Insurance Agency and my passion to help others is what keeps me committed to our client’s needs.
