In addition to required continuing education, I seek out opportunities that allow me to stay current in the field. Only 4% of Realtors nationally have taken any kind of further education in negotiations. Crazy right? Negotiation is the heartbeat of this business. I am certified as a Negotiation Expert by the Real Estate Negotiation Institute. You can count on me to continue training, learning and refining my craft -- Portland State University, M.Ed., Curriculum & Instruction Michigan State University, BA, Business Administration Past Life Experiences I have worked as a teacher in middle and elementary schools for over eight years, here in Kalamazoo and also Portland, Oregon. I've taught at Western Michigan University, training faculty in curriculum development and instructional design.

I bring a wealth of experiences that allow me to see the market and each home with a discerning eye. I am a teacher at heart.
