Women In Business

I partner with people from ALL walks of life to make sound financial decisions that help them sleep better at night. Whether those people are facing minor or major life transitions, such as job changes, marriage, divorce, starting a business, selling a business, helping their children get on track financially, preparing for or living in retirement, just to name a few. 

If you are looking for an advisor that CARES about you, give me a call for a free consultation!  Office: (503) 410-3393

My Ideal Client:
You should reach out to me if you're looking to build a relationship with their financial advisor. Someone you can reach out to when you need help or guidance. Whether your situation is simple or complex, I'm here to help!

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.
