With a strong background in photography and the arts, I feel my experiences are uniquely related to the field of real estate. Since coming to Arizona 16 years ago, I created a luxury pet boutique, renovated a historic home, opened and ran a Jerome art gallery and vacation rental for 14 years. I was instrumental in starting Jerome Art Walk and have helped put Jerome on the map as an art destination in Arizona. I have a love and familiarity of the Verde Valley.
For 25 years prior to moving to Arizona, my husband and I photographed the most beautiful yachts in the world as well as private islands and luxury properties. I organized and planned our shoots that were quite complex. Moving equipment, obtaining permits, making travel arrangements, art directing and styling the shoots, casting, client handholding, marketing, billing, and book-keeping were all part of the job.
Currently, I am VP of The Jerome Chamber of Commerce and head of marketing for the group. We are regularly featured in publications around the country. As head of PR for our Chamber, we doubled our Historic Home Tour revenue a few years ago. I still spearhead Jerome Art Walk which has now become a part of the Chamber organization.
My volunteer experience with the Jerome Chamber and Art Walk in the past years has given me an understanding and talent for marketing and public relations. I bring these skills to every real estate job whether for the buyer or the seller. I feel my relationships from our former life in the yachting world and current relationships in the Verde Valley art and business communities will serve me well as a realtor. I enjoy sharing my love for this beautiful part of the country with my clients and am delighted to be able to help people with such an important decision in their lives.
