Small Town Roots for Palm Springs Realtor I grew up in a small, rural community near Johnstown, Pennsylvania. I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics from the University of Pittsburgh and completed my postgraduate Masters Degree at Cornell University's prestigious School of Hotel and Restaurant Administration. Following a long stint working in the Washington, DC area, I also lived in Chadds Ford, PA, Carefree, AZ and Seattle, WA.
