I was a paralegal with a long standing and well known defense law firm here in El Paso for many years until I retired in 2007. I am currently attempting to complete a  Economics degree. I was a licensed real Estate agent in 1994 and decided to return to the business last year in an effort to assist  families facing a difficult housing market manage their real estate investments after the downturn in the economy. My family and I have been involved in the El Paso and Fort Bliss community for as long as I can remember.  In fact, we are most proud of my mother-in-law, Mary Russell who founded the first Child Crisis Center in Texas right here in El Paso. This program continues to serve El Paso and the surrounding areas of Horizon City,  and Fort Bliss  for over 20 years.  I am currently assisting families in the El Paso area avoid foreclosure by preparing Short Sales and representing first-time home buyers realize their dream of owning a home.
