ABOUT ME
I have proudly called Tampa Bay my home for over 21 years. Originally from Pittsburgh, PA, my family relocated here in 2004 for my husband's job, so I truly understand the importance of not just finding a home, but a place to belong. As a mom of 3 now-adult sons, I bring with me extensive knowledge of local schools, sports, and communities to help families make informed and confident decisions.
I have had the opportunity to help many families sell and buy in the Pasco County area, because I lived on the Pasco/ Hillsborough County border for 18 years. My most fulfilling moments working as a Realtor are when I help families realize their dream of homeownership, and continue a relationship well beyond their purchase. FUN FACT: I haven't missed running in the Miles for Moffitt races since 2009! I am an avid runner, and just completed my first full marathon! One of my favorite things about living in Tampa is the various county parks. There are so many beautiful trails and lakes/rivers to explore!

ABOUT ME
FAMILY LIFESTYLE
Yes, I know the school landscape well—I’ve raised three children who attended both public and private schools in the area. I’m an alum of Academy of the Holy Names, where my daughter also went. My sons attended Tampa Prep, Gaither, and several local public schools, so I have experience with a range of educational options. I also had the opportunity to sell a home to the headmaster of Berkeley Prep when he relocated to Tampa. Carrollwood Day School is just outside the gates here, and I know several families who attend. With a large extended family and strong local network, if I’m not personally familiar with a school, I’ll always reach out and connect clients with someone who is. Making sure families feel informed and confident about school choices is something I take seriously.
