I grew up in Chicago, and have lived in Kansas City MO, The Big Apple, Madison Wisconsin. Loved living in New York I was there during all the free love and hippie movements. It made an indellible impression on me. I came by real estate quite by accident. I was working for a temp agency during summers from school they placed me at Continental Bank and they hired me, and well the rest is history. In the course of my life, I have wanted to be an accupuncturist but didn't like the choices of schools, there was only 1 choice at the time so I became a Massage Therapist instead. I love it and the fact that I can help people stay in tuned with their bodies and make them feel good is such a rewarding experience. But I am also rewarded in other ways. I love music and growing up in a musical household, made music my second language. I play the recorder, have played the piano although not as well as I would like, tried my hand at the flute, not so successful there, and I sing, which I fortunately am able to make a modest wage. I also love making things. I come from a long line of carpenters and farmers so working with my hands is essential to my joy, along with healing and singing.
