About Me

Upon my retirement in 2011, I moved to Punta Gorda from Virginia. The climate in Florida during the winter is so much nicer; however, I do miss the mountains in the summertime. I now live in North Port where I have a big fenced-in yard for my two rescued dogs. My love of animals caused me and three other ladies to charter a non-profit for homeless animals, Forepaws Matter, Inc. 501(c)(3).
In 2016, I decided to return to work and obtained my realtor’s license. With the exception of the last two years (I took a hiatus during a serious family illness), I have sold the house in the southwest Florida area. I have now returned full-time and am ready to put my experiences to work for you. Coldwell Banker Realty has all of the support and tools needed to help ease the process of this life-changing event from start to finish.
