The right partner will make all the difference in buying or selling your home or commerical property. There are nearly 700 real estate agents in Missoula. Am I right for you? Only you can decide. While the information below may help in making your choice, the true measure of any agent is dependent on five things: results, responsiveness, integrity, ability to interact effectively and fairly with all parites to the transaction--but to serve only you.

I have been helping clients make informed decisions for over ten years. I welcome the opportunity to meet with you and hope that we might build a partnership that will make all the difference for you.

SELECT PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
As President of MounTerra Inc., I have cultivated, negotiated and closed domestic and international sales as distributor and/or representative agent for manufacturing clients. I have also imported products for US manufacturers looking to expand product lines and managed marketing projects on behalf of clients from design of sales materials to new product development.

While Montana World Trade Center's Membership Service Manager from 1998-2003, I counseled exporters on distributor/foreign partner identification and qualification; international shipping and logistics issues; and mitigating foreign payment risk. I completed foreign market research and export strategy for more than 50 companies from a broad base of industry sectors such as agri-food, consumer products, medical, environmental, and service sectors and routinely facilitated linkages between U.S. clients and appropriate in-country partners.

Before moving to Montana in 1998 with my husband, I worked in international sales and marketing for Pennsylvania-based Winner International, maker of The Club vehicle antitheft device and with Washington, DC based Citizens Nework for Foreign Affairs to expand U.S. trade in emerging economies through public-private partnerships.

I am fluent in Spanish and a double major cum laude graduate of The American University in Washington, DC.

My family consists of John, my husband, love and best friend for 13 years (I can't believe its been that long, either); my beautiful daughter, Jordan, who is the reason behind the grin on my face; and Kodiak, my 100lb. Chocolate Lab, who is my constant reminder of life's simple pleasures and the power of phrasing in reaching a target audience. ("Do you want a puppy treat?" See? It doesn't work as well on humans...)
