Women In Business

My parents struggled financially when I was young. Though we never really talked about it, we knew they were doing their best, and we knew not to ask for things we didn't need. My mom even had a TV box (the old cabinet style) filled with coupons, and every weekend when we went shopping, it was our job to go through the coupons and find the ones she needed for our grocery shopping trip. We never had the "best" of anything, but we never went without.

When I was just out of high school, I took the expected path by getting married and having two children. I was fortunate that I was able to be a stay-at-home mom for many years, but as you might expect, that meant a great deal of financial struggle. We learned to be frugal. We learned to do without when it wasn't absolutely necessary.

When my first husband and I divorced, I needed to find work to support myself and our children. I was very fortunate to be offered a starting level position in a call center with a big bank. Though I was concerned that the position was in collections, I had a very good trainer who taught me that collections is just customer service at another level. I did very well in collections. My lifetime of experience helped me to better understand the concerns of these customers. It made me a better listener, and I'm sure the empathy I expressed helped them understand I'd been in their shoes.

That's why I have such a keen need to help others who started saving late, have never done investing before, or need some direction. I've been where you are. I want to help you get to a better place where you are more in control of your finances. I believe that a personalized approach is essential; understanding your unique situation, aspirations and risk tolerance is my priority. Together, we'll craft strategies designed to help you achieve your financial goals.

I want to build lasting relationships with people who I see as friends rather than mere clients. I provide ongoing support and regular check-ins, and I love collaborating with your trusted advisors as needed — be they attorneys or accountants — to create a holistic financial strategy tailored to your life.

If you're looking for a financial advisor who values connection and understanding, I would love to hear from you. Give me a call at (503) 410-3393, and let's get started!

I was born and raised in Western Washington County and has chosen to make Beaverton my home for nearly two decades. I have a true passion for the community that I call home.

Having over 30 years of experience working with small and medium-sized businesses in our area, I understand the value of community and am passionate about building relationships both personal and professional. As a local REALTOR®, I'm also keenly aware that investment in your community has a direct and dramatic impact on quality of life now and for generations to come. I believe that a healthy Chamber of Commerce is fundamental in catalyzing leaders to improve the economic prosperity and they are some of the strongest and most fierce advocates of local business, in turn providing an essential voice for their community. When businesses succeed, communities succeed.

I am a Director on the BACC Board of Directors, as well as the chair of the Membership Retention and Recruitment committee.  I also serve on various additional committees such as the Women in Business and Evolving Leaders committee. In her free time, I love to explore our local wine country and spend time with friends.

Whether you live here and are looking for something new, or you are moving here for the first time, I would love the opportunity to make the buying or selling process easy and help you find the perfect home for you and your family. My intimate knowledge of this region, and experiences of having lived here all my life give me enthusiasm and a desire to make my home, your home.

Hey everyone! Allow me to introduce

myself my name is Pauline and I am the owner and mind

behind Program for Intellectual Empowerment 

I was born in Massachusetts and raised in plain ole Bakersfield California. Armpit USA

Growing up I had a cousin with autism. And I used to sit in on his therapist. All the intensive hours of “learning” When he was about 13… someone gave him a marker and his creative side was born.

Fast forward 2-3 years and he’s traveling the world with his art. Suddenly it didn’t matter that he had autism. Suddenly he was being seen as the individual that he is and not his disabilities.

This inspired me…we all have creativity within us. Waiting to be harness and cultivated.

After high school, I started the next part of my journey. I attended CSUB with an art major in mind and then switched sophomore year to child development. God made me realize that I needed to know more To make change.

Shortly thereafter I got my credentials started teaching. After a draining 2nd year of teaching (I took on two teaching position, staffing shortage) it was clear God wanted me in Oregon.

In 2018, the Program for Intellectual Empowerment was born. This was the first step. Bringing to the community something different, a methodology out of neuroscience. To create a movement where every individual is seen as who they are and cultivate a more creative, compassionate, thriving community… to change the world.
