As a native Floridian, I am a rarity having lived in Florida my entire life.  I was born on the world’s most famous beach, Daytona.  I literally grew up on the beach, in the hospitality industry, because my family owns a hotel directly on the ocean.   After spending 18 years in the family business, I decided to study Hospitality Administration at Florida State University.

I moved to Orlando in 1993 after graduation and accepted a job with The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotel. I have been a resident of Central Florida ever since.   My professional experience in the local Hospitality Industry includes 14 years of working in Convention Sales and Catering with exceptional companies like Starwood Hotels and Universal Studios Orlando.

As a happily married, mother of three boys, we moved from the hustle and bustle of downtown Orlando to the quiet suburb of Windermere to raise our boys.

Over the years, I have acquired personal experience with real estate investments and property management as well as a passion for it. After years of selling “Orlando” abroad as a convention destination, I decided to change careers, stay local and enter the real estate market.

As a local, 21 year resident who takes advantage of all that this beautiful community has to offer, I would be honored to help you navigate the local real estate market.  Whether it’s my mommy experience with local schools and little league, or my professional experience and knowledge of the local market, you can trust me to help with your real estate needs.
