Biography
I have been lucky enough to live in many wonderful places in my life. I grew up in beautiful Holliston, MA, a small town where everyone knew everyone, a feeling I came to love. A move to Oregon as a teenager and subsequently to San Francisco 10 years later taught me about the beauty and allure of the West Coast but I was always missing the seasons and that “small town” feel.
After marrying in 1992, my husband Rich and I returned to my New England roots to pursue a career and raise a family. It was important to us to live and work in a place where people looked out for one another and had strong family values.
After a 20+ year career in the insurance industry I felt it was time for a change. Dealing with Real Estate from an insurance perspective only served to deepen my knowledge and pique my interest in learning all I could as I changed careers.
Of the things I love about Real Estate, helping folks navigate one of the most complex and exciting processes of their life is so rewarding. Buying or selling a home can be challenging, I am a problem solver by nature and find ways to make those challenges a little less overwhelming, maybe even having a little fun along the way
I am licensed in both VT and NH, enjoy working with both buyers and sellers and am certified as a Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE).
My husband and I currently live in West Chesterfield, NH, where we raised our beautiful daughter Meghan. Along with volunteering in various capacities over the years I enjoy traveling, cooking, hiking, and spending as much time as possible by the ocean.
