Cathleen Woodruff

I am a third generation Oregonian, whose grandparents came on the wagon train. My grandmother was married in Portland in 1900, and lived on the very outskirts of town - 4th and Hoyt! A love of my hometown is deeply ingrained. I am part beaver -- OSU for freshman and sophomore years -- and part duck -- graduated in Sociology. I spent my first career in retail as a buyer and store manager, and loved the travel and creativity it provided. And I learned to love to make a deal.

My background includes 20+ years as a buyer for Meier and Frank, Portland's Own Department Store. When Meier and Frank finally gave way to a new organization I said goodbye to retail and transitioned into a career as a Real Estate Broker. I now work for Windermere.

We always had plenty of great books to read at home. Instead of going to a movie I can recommend reading the book while listening to the sound track.
