Bio/hometown: raised in Dumont, NJ. I attended Fairleigh Dickinson University in Tenafly, then Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT). I lived in Manhattan for many years, working in public relations, where I represented Parker Brothers, Health-Tex and more. I then opened my own production company and was a set designer /stylist and producer, where I worked on national print advertising, Off-Broadway productions and television commercials, such as Dannon Yogurt and Ethan Allen.

Jamestown resident since/family members: I moved to Jamestown, RI 19 years ago, and have been enjoying this beautiful island I call home ever since! I have two terrific sons, Dylan and James. I also have a great mutt, Tex, and the best cat, Luna.

Why I do what I do: I became a realtor almost 7 years ago and i love it. Meeting new people, helping them find homes they love, enabling others to move on with the most ease possible. I enjoy working with clients, sometimes for very long periods, until they find just the right place. I enjoy all the different aspects of it.

Affiliations: I am a member of various organizations that provide my clients the confidence that they are being served by someone with experience and can get their needs fulfilled:
- National Association of Realtors (NAR)
- Rhode Island Association of Realtors (RIAR)
- Accredited Buyer Representation (ABR)
- Rhode Island MLS
I have listed and represented buyers in homes with prices ranging from $243,000 to $4.6 million.

Noteworthy moment in my career: I am on the board of directors for the Jamestown Arts Center. JAC has just purchased 18 Valley Street in Jamestown and we are actively fund-raising for renovations and programming. This will be an exciting, vibrant home for artists and art-lovers alike! I am very excited to be a part of this project. In 2009, i sold the most expensive home in Jamestown at $4.6 million, representing the buyer.

Things i do when i am not doing real estate: I like to ski, hike, bike, rollerblade, scuba, and sometimes, simply relax on my favorite beach, mackerel cove.
