With great experience as a Kirkland~Bothell Realtor, I help both buyers and sellers meet their real estate objectives and will work tirelessly on your behalf to make your next home buying or home selling experience a pleasant and successful one. 

I was born and grew up in Japan.  I went to college in Tokyo, received a degree in Interior Design in 1984, and then went to Hawaii to study English for a year.  I got married to my husband in 1990 (in Bonn, Germany), travelled Europe for a few months, moved to Hawaii for a year and moved back to Japan for a few months, and finally moved to the Bothell area in 1991.  After living in three continents (Japan, Germany & US), I have to say the Pacific Northwest is my favorite place to live in the world.  I am a wife, a mother of two very active teenagers, and a dog owner (Australian Shepherd - he is a great dog.  Very smart!).  I enjoyed being a stay home mom during my kids' formative years.  While I stayed home, I spent many hours volunteering at their school and our community. 

I am a soccer mom.  If I am not showing properties nor holding Open Houses on the weekend, I am sitting on the sidelines and watching our kids' play a game somewhere in the Greater Seattle area.  We sit in the sun, rain, snow, wind and everytihng.  I love watching them playing soccer whether they win or lose!  

I am so blessed to have a wonderful family, and great friends in my life.  Life is good! 

Speak English and Japanese.
