I was born and raised in Central Maine. My father was a small business owner, so the entrepreneurial spirit was instilled in me young. But I always wanted to be a nurse — and I achieved that, becoming an RN by the time I was 21.

Fast forward ten years. I was married with two young girls and longing for more in my career. That entrepreneurial spirit was stirring, but I had no idea what I'd even get into.

Then I hit a crossroads that challenged my personal values — go against them to keep my job, or walk away from the career I'd worked so hard for. I chose my values, and started frantically looking for answers. Healthcare was all I'd ever known.

I was listening to career expert Ken Coleman on the way to pick the kids up from school. He asks people: "What would you do if money were no object and you were guaranteed not to fail?" You're meant to blurt out the first thing that comes to mind, because it's what's truly in your heart.

I decided to answer it myself. I bet you can't guess what came out of my mouth. Yep — real estate. I shocked myself, and the doubts came rushing in. I stopped them. I went home and told my husband, and he agreed I'd make a great REALTOR®. That was all the assurance I needed.

My love for serving others as a nurse carried straight over into serving clients in real estate. I aim for excellent communication and a genuinely deep connection with the people I work with.

I love working with upsizing families because I get to be part of the vision for their dream home. That's also where I am in my own life — so I can truly relate.

When I'm not working you'll find me at our family's camp on Sibley Pond, snowmobiling, or at a Patriots game.
