I started as a collector of pattern glass when I was a child going with my mother to antique shops in Illinois. From there I branched into Carnival Glass, then china and Irish Belleek porcelain. Following a career as an administrative assistant, travel agent and realtor. I became an antiques and collectibles dealer opening a shop in Oklahoma City. I accepted consignments which led to appraisal research to value the property. I joined the International Society of Appraisers to become an appraiser. After going through the initial courses and gaining Accredited Member status, I began working to become certified. This required 500 hours of appraisal experience, five years as an accredited member and a 5 hour exam. Throughout my career I have continued to study product including two courses in ceramics with the Northern Ceramic Society in Chester, UK, attending ISA Seminars and webinars and other courses offered by ISA Chapters.
