Kathy McGraw’s Summary

My background is in Counseling and working with disadvantaged kids and families. I was a Foster Mother for years, and worked in various Social Services Settings before joining the Peace Corps in 1997. After my service ended in Sept. 2000 I returned to school taking Business Classes. I also volunteered with my local Chamer of Commerce as the Logistics Chairman of the Stagecoach Days Committee for 2 years, was nominated by the Banning City Council to be on the City General Plan Committee that met weekly for a year to re-do the General Plan.

Everything I have done in life has had to do with helping people and starting several small business's. Real Estate has been a logical extension. Now I get to utilize all my skills for the benefit of a different segment of the community. I love it......
