    About me

    Paralegal 1987 - 2009 - Patents & Trademarks, Personal Injury & Worker's Compensation, Probate, Domestic & Collections. Skills included, but were not limited to: negotiations, follow-up, organization, communications, docketing.

    Moved to Las Vegas in 2009 worked for a gaming company in the Patent & Trademark Department, got laid off & pursued my Real Estate License & Property Management Permit.

    Now I'm here! All set for the real estate world with all the knowledge & skills I used as a Paralegal, ie., the ability to read & negotiate contracts; problem solving; the art of listening to what is really being said; the ability to be a liaison for all parties; the knack for follow-up & adhering to deadlines; an eye for detail & accuracy; the know-how & importance of precise communication with integrity and confidentiality.

    My goal, in any career, is to be the best I can be. It didn’t take long to actively get involved at whatever level I could to learn more.
