She worked her way throughout the Company learning the skills of title searching, examining and closing transactions. She became a licensed title insurance in 1998. Additional education has been obtained as part of her continued licensing by the State of Pennsylvania. Having gained unique skills, she decided to launch her own Company, Abstract & Research Unlimited, LLC in 2011. She performs real estate title searches for local attorneys, closing companies, engineering and survey companies. Her experience has been obtained within 13 Counties in Pennsylvania but is now limited to Blair and Bedford Counties.
