I believe you should know the person behind the business card… SO HERE’S MY STORY
I walked through the house filled with the overpowering scent of disinfectant. It was a far cry from the warm aroma of potato soup and roasted cheese that used to hang in the air. After a deep breath, I stepped outside and closed the door fully knowing that an even larger door was closing on a huge cha
pter of my life. When my mother passed away in 2015, it hit hard not only my family, but also the whole community. She had been sick for nearly a year, and we all knew things were not going well, but I could not stop myself from hoping for
a miracle. She had been my number one cheerleader, my friend, and her door was always open to everyone. My parents immigrated from Scotland in 1957 to give us an opportunity at a better life here. Even though we did not have a lot, there was always room at our table and soup on the stove. Our family is huge, and I remember many long nights spent in our small house filled with laughter along with my dozens of aunts, uncles, and cousins. My mother was so much more than one thing; she was the glue, the hope, and the commander of our little clan. She always said she had a lot of soldiers. Not the military kind though, rather she had people ready to help at a moment’s notice. When I was younger, she established a food pantry at our parish and always knew how to find whatever anybody needed. She coordinated clothing, toys,
towels, anything that could help someone in the community. Over the years, my sister and I helped her along with our children. With her gone, I vowed not to let anyone take away the hope she had given. My sister and I stil do our part in running Hope 101 (a nonprofit organization) to this day in our community along with Betty’s Blessed Bus (est 2022)
I have been a hard worker my whole life and when I became a full-time REALTOR®, failing was not an option. At the time, I was the breadwinner for my family with my four children to support. For years, I worked three jobs just to make ends meet and as soon as the time was right, I became a full-time REALTOR®. It was overwhelming and exhausting and so worth it. Fortunately, I have a wonderful community and family who helped me more than I could have imagined during those difficult years. What I learned through it all is that no matter how hard we work, no one person can do everything alone. Collaboration and community are in our blood and by doing our part to the best of our ability, we can help everyone around us rise to their full potential. My family and I have been through a lot over the years and even when things seemed darkest, hope shined through. I had my oldest daughter when I had almost given up hope that it was possible. Again and again, I have seen that light always follows darkness. I feel blessed to continue to spread hope and do all I can in real estate and in our community to continue to help others. I have been a licensed REALTOR® since 2007. Whenever I am not working, I enjoy walking, spending time with my friends and family, and volunteering in the community. My favorite part of being a REALTOR® is when my client finds exactly what they are looking for—that pop of joy in their face—and my fight to make that dream happen begins! Whether you are buying or selling a home, you have a goal. I listen to my clients and care about your needs.It is important to me that you have everything necessary to make the best decision possible and that is why I take the time to educate my clients throughout the process. I was born and raised here in Bucks County, I know the communities and neighborhoods here unlike anyone else and will help you find exactly what you are looking for. Communication is key, and I will stay on top of every part of the transaction from start to finish, ensuring that it goes smoothly. What I care about most through it all is you. I want you to have the best experience possible and that does not end at closing. As your REALTOR®, I will continue to be a resource to you in this community for everything from reliable roofers to the best new
restaurants and everything in between. Once we start working together, I will always want you to succeed, and I will stick around to help make it happen
