Residing in Tampa Bay since 1987, my deep-rooted understanding of St. Petersburg's essence, community, and its residents defines my connection to this vibrant area. This city, where I've nurtured my children into adulthood, has transformed before my eyes: from a quaint town to a dynamic metropolis adorned with towering skyscrapers and culinary hotspots. I've witnessed the evolution of its charm, from the bustling Saturday Morning Market and quaint downtown boutiques to the pristine beaches of Treasure Island and Pass-a-Grille, solidifying St. Petersburg's status as a coveted living destination. My pride in calling this place home is unwavering. Community is the cornerstone of my ethos. I am passionately committed to giving back, dedicating my time to the Sallie House children's shelter, and generously supporting charitable causes, including St. Jude's Hospital and Shriner’s Children’s Hospital. My philosophy of contributing extends into my professional realm, where my priority lies in not only helping clients find their dream homes but also in making a positive impact on their lives. In addition to serving the St. Petersburg and Tampa Bay areas, I also cater to clients in Manatee County.
