After my extensive travels along the east coast of the United States, Canada, and points beyond, I am proud to finally call Lakeland, Florida my home. My husband, Bill, and our two beautiful children have enjoyed living here since 1996, and we have all establishd deep-seeded roots in this lovely community. I was born in Brooklyn, New York, but spent the majority of my adolesence on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico ("La Isla del Encato") I moved back to the states for my senior year where I attended Brandon Senior High School. I then took my studies to Hillsborough Community College, and ultimately Auburn University in Montgomery, Alabama.
Growing up as a pastor's daughter, I am still pasionate about attending church services on a regular basis. As the matriarch of my own family now, I take pride in watching them grow up to become adults, with the legacy that my father started in our family to serve with an open heart to others. Much like we did growing up in my large family, I receive much joy from having family around the dinner table for a home-cooked meal. I don't mind saying that I am a great cook!
Working in the community has always been a passion of mine. With my extensive financial experience in the mortgage industry, I have helped many home buyers and sellers. Assisting first-time home buyers obtain a mortgage, locating grants for downpayment, and helping to clear credit issues were some of my specialities. With many years of experience within the fininancial sector, I have helped countless clients achieve the financial goals within their real estate portfolios.
Customer service is my primary focus. As your REALTOR, I will help you with the single-most important investment of your life . . . purchasing or selling a home. Whether you're a first-time home buyer, or a seasoned investor, I look forward to helping you achieve your goals.
