I’ve been in real estate investment and property management for over 16 years, and throughout my career, customer service has always been my number one priority. I’m a firm believer that you can be both kind and tough—and I’ve gotten pretty good at knowing which one the situation calls for. I’m a professional diffuser of chaos, negotiator of the impossible, and occasionally the person who has to say, “Nope, we’re not doing that.”

I’ve been married to my best friend for 25 years, and somehow he still likes me, so I must be doing something right. I have three grown daughters, which means I’ve officially earned the right to enjoy some peace and quiet… although I’m still waiting for that to kick in.

I’m also a very proud nana to a 6-month-old granddaughter who completely has my heart, and I have my best buddy Eagle, my Pekingese, who runs the household and graciously allows me to live here.

If there’s one thing to know about me, it’s that I’m fiercely loyal—sometimes to a fault. I’m a workaholic, I thrive in controlled chaos, and I genuinely love helping people. If someone needs a hand, I’m usually the person who will show up, figure it out, and somehow make it work.

At the end of the day, I’m all about family, loyalty, hard work, good people, and finding the humor in the craziness life throws at us. And yes… I’m probably working while I’m writing this.
