Background

Professional

I have worked in many capacities with real estate since 1991.  My husband and I rehabbed and rented single family homes and a small apartment building for 20 years.  I have worked for Larry Triola as a Realtor's Assistant since 1998.  In 2013 I earned my real estate salesperson license in order to exclusively represent buyers.

Personal

I was born and raised in Evansville, IN.  I moved to Munroe Falls after completing my degree at Purdue University and getting a job with Ohio Edison as a computer programmer.  Six months later I moved to an apartment in The Valley.  A year later I was married and had moved to east Akron with my husband.  Finally, in 1991 we moved to Copley and have not moved since.

In 1992 a son was born so I quit my full time programming job with Roadway Express and decided to work part-time permanently.  I taught programming classes at the University of Akron for 5 years and was a bookkeeper.  A daughter and another son followed the first.  By 1998 I had 3 kids 6 years old and under AND 21 rental units to manage.  That's when I started working as a Realtor's Assistant - it was either that or psychological counseling and the job at least brought some money IN.  Thankfully, Larry is great fun to work with and for.

By 2012 I had two kids in college and one at home but no rental units.  I finally had the time (and OSU wanted all our money) so it was time to start over with another full time office job - yuck - or use all this real estate experience to help buyers find their dream home. 

I honestly have met the nicest, funnest people since I started showing homes.  I've seen some amazing houses and look forward to seeing many more AND finding you your dream home!
