I am a native of the Eastern Shore and began my Real Estate career in 1998. Affiliated with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Salisbury, MD since 1998, which was formerly known as Cooper Stewart Realtor/GMAC.

I have earned the coveted Certified Residential Specialist designation. This designation has only been awarded to 4 percent of agents in the country. I also have my GREEN designation, my Short Sale and Foreclosure Certification and by the first of 2011 I will have completed the Delaware Brokers Course. Additionally, I have completed my Cartus Relocation Training. I strive to keep up with the latest technology available to better serve my clients.
