After many years of moving with military life we finally settled in Las Vegas when my father retired.\u00a0 I attended Rancho HIgh School and graduated from UNLV with a Bachelor of Science degree. After graduating, I had a career as a Toxicologist for 18 years before I started in the Real Estate business. Being in Real Estate and Property Management has really given me a new-found appreciation for the Las Vegas valley and\u00a0 after 43 years of living here I can honestly say I wouldn\u2019t want to live anywhere else.\u00a0<\/p>\n<section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- content --><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- meta --><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2007<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- body --><\/p>\n<h2>A Realtor is born<\/h2>\n<p>In 2007 I decided to make Real Estate a career and joined Century 21.
