After a successful career in teaching in New York, Deena came back to Oklahoma and found a job as a housing manager, renting to seniors. This is what sparked her interest in real estate. She has lived in the Texoma area for 7 years, and her love of learning and people lead her to the Paragon family. Deena sits on the advisory board for TCOG AAA (Texoma Council of Governments Area Agency on Aging).

Deena has worked for the city of Sherman for several years and is a former teacher with two Master's degrees.

When Deena isn't making home ownership dreams come true, you can find her at the Sherman Senior Center as the Coordinator, overseeing activities and daily functions of the center.
