She’s a southern girl at heart since the majority of her family resides in south Georgia so the choice to head to the sunshine state was an easy one. She grew up on the water in Middletown Rhode Island, so she knew she couldn’t give up that salt air. When her father in law retired after 32 years of serving our nation in the United States Coast Guard and found his way to Panama City for a job offer she knew it was the perfect landing spot for her and her family. Grandparents are life’s greatest blessing and now her children are just a few hours from both sets! Family is super important to her and after 4 years of being a stay at home mom she knew she couldn’t give up her time with her family for a corporate career. She has always had a love for real estate and FINALLY took the leap to become a Realtor full time. Being a part of such an incredible transition in someone’s life is something that she truly loves. Whether it’s helping a young adult find their first home, a growing family find the space that is all their own, or an empty nester find the true meaning of retirement, she is there for it ALL! Being a native of Newport Rhode Island, I have a strong pull towards the pineapple. On the signs, in the stone walls, even built into the architecture of the buildings. My grandfather was a social studies teacher and a fisherman, lobsterman to be exact. So he would always let me in on all the hidden bits of history around our town. One of my favorite stories was the story of the pineapple. When I asked him about all the pineapples around town he explained that people would put pineapples on their porches to let the fisherman that were in town know that there was a cozy bed and a hot meal inside. It was a symbol of welcoming, hospitality and friendship that the community held onto for all this time. So for me the pineapple isn't just a trendy symbol, its a piece of me, and truly embodies what I stand for and the type of environment I want to create for all of the people who know me. For me the means friendship, welcoming, hospitality, safety. For me, it means HOME.
