I’ve always had an affinity for seniors and am so excited to be part of Compass Plus! The first job I ever had, at age 16, was as a nurse’s aide in a skilled nursing facility in my hometown of Rochester NY. I thought I would pursue a career in healthcare, but my life took a different turn, and I ended up studying graphic design. That led to a 25-year career in various capacities in the publishing industry in San Diego CA, Charleston SC, and Washington DC. I also raised two children during this time.

I became a real estate investor while a staff member at the World Bank Group. When they offered me an early retirement package, I jumped at the chance to start a new career as a full-time real estate professional. It’s been an adventure, and after nine years in the business, I still learn something new every day.

In my spare time, I love to ski, hike, kayak, and curl (that funny sport played on ice with rocks and brooms). I give back to the community as a board member and volunteer of East Creek Village, a non-profit dedicated to helping seniors age in place, and as a consistent Red Cross blood donor - 13 gallons so far! I encourage everyone who is eligible to donate blood on a regular basis.

If you need real estate advice for yourself or a senior in your family or community, I’d love to help! There are many factors to consider, and there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Please give me a call today!
