My Qualifications

While I have literally divorced my brush hog, I have a passion for country property. I grew up in dairy country of New York State, sharing the same home town with Elsie the Cow and That Girl.  

As a kid I rode field hunters and learned to love riding in the woods. I was a member of the Goldens Bridge Hounds Pony Club in North Salem, New York. 

After attending college and graduate school, I worked in Albany, NY and Pittsburgh, PA, where I was a law librarian and a certified records manager.   

When we moved to Oklahoma in 1984 I started riding again.  Here I became familiar with riding in a ring, showing a bit on the hunter-jumper circuit, and doing some dressage competition. In 1989 we bought our 60-acre farm in Claremore and I was able to ride on my own place.

In Claremore I took classes in horse management at the Rogers State College Horse Center and volunteered in the Bit by Bit Therapeutic Riding program. I also took courses in the Golf Course and Landscape Management program at Rogers State College, learning to identify and manage trees, shrubs, grasses, and weeds.

More recently I have taken classes at the High Plains Technology Center in Woodward to learn about oil & gas drilling and production. I have a rig pass and feel somewhat qualified and comfortable when walking around on an oil lease as well as a farm. I have also learned how to do landman work, which brings together my many years of professional experience as a law librarian, a corporate records manager, and later as a legal assistant. I can advise clients appropriately regarding which professionals to consult when their land is actually or potentially involved in oil & gas production.

From 1989 to 1991 I worked as an executive secretary for Henson-Williams Realty, commercial real estate developers. During that time I felt called to be a minister or a theological librarian, so I went back to school.  In 1994 I acquired my real estate sales license and worked as a buyers' agent for Gordona Duca Realtors for six months before resuming my graduate studies. ,

After six years of commuting between Claremore and Dallas I finally obtained my Masters in Divinity, graduating in the top of my class at SMU.  Although I have never been ordained in ministry, my training in counseling has helped me in my current career as well as when I worked on the Hardware Help Desk at Sabre, fixing computers and printers over the phone for French speaking travel agents.  I also worked as a paralegal, taught Middle School French, and ran the Christian Education and youth programs at a church.

When I found myself divorced and faced with no retirement and the need to make a living on my own for the first time in my life, I came back into real estate full time and placed my license with Colwell Banker / RaderGroup, Realtors. That was in the spring of 2005. 

My unique blend of life experience, education, and passion come together to make me qualified to work with buyers who are looking for pretty land and sellers who own rural, suburban, even urban horse properties in Northeast Oklahoma.
