Accomplishments

My career for the better part of my professional life has been that of a business owner engaged in design and sales of women's accessories. In fact I have owned my own belt facility in two different provinces in China.

I made over 100 trips to China and cherish my privilege to have visited this part of the world.
I have had the opportunity to develop some of the closest business friendships imaginable and maintain those relationships, speaking with them weekly.


As a partner and agent, I think you can appreciate my feeling that often the sale is as uplifting as the financial reward. If not more so.
I have met many people and made many friends who I speak with and see to this day.


My desire to be a part of the BiCoastal team lies with my passion for music and the creative arts, and the pleasure I get from selling. , I was briefly with another agency(s) and chose to leave for reasons I am quite comfortable discussing. I began to actively participate with them in early May and sold $100,000 of bookings in my first two months through July. This brief bio cannot do justice to my background and my talents.
You can position me anywhere you wish to, and I will make the commitment you expect me to.
