BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY AND WORKING STYLE: When I entered the industry in 1980, I had absolutely no clue . . . However, what I have learned over the years is to never take my business or my clients for granted. Subscribing to a strict code of ethics and professional standards of practice establish working guidelines and boundaries I can live by, and that is very important to me.QUALIFICATIONS AND TRAINING :
