I have been happily married to my husband for over 20 years, and together we have 3 beautiful, kind-hearted young adults. We have both lived on Long Island our entire lives, which has been a wonderful place to raise a family!
While my children were in elementary school, I was an extremely active member of the PTA. After spending many years volunteering for various committees, I decided to join the Executive Board where I spent 2 years as the Committee Chairperson, and 1 year as the Treasurer. During my time on the board, I developed & implemented the "Youngest & Only" system, which in the long run has saved the school district tens of thousands of sheets of paper as well as thousands of dollars.
While I was a stay-at-home mom, I also became a self-taught bookkeeper balancing the books and taking care of Accounts Payable & Receivables for our company. Because of that experience, I was able to become a bookkeeper for a few other small businesses. I have realized that I love bookkeeping because I love fitting all of the pieces together to balance the accounts.
When Hurricane Sandy devastated much of the south shore of Long Island in 2012, many of my friends, neighbors and strangers wanted to donate supplies, food and clothing to the victims, but they didn't know where to begin. I decided that I wanted to help that happen, so for many months my family and I delivered car loads of donated food, water, supplies, clothing and blankets to some of the hardest hit areas. I was surprised and extremely humbled to learn that I had been nominated to receive the "Long Island Women of Distinction" award given by Ed Mangano. I was honored to share the award with other amazing women who have done wonderful things.
Throughout all of the years of putting the puzzle pieces of bookkeeping together and helping others in times of need, I realized that I thoroughly enjoy doing both of those things. What better way to join my passions together then becoming a Licensed Real Estate Agent? Real Estate has long been a great interest of mine, but something I just always kept on the back burner. My husband was very supportive when I told him that I was finally going to "Go For It!"
I truly believe that using all of the tools I've learned throughout the years makes a strong, reliable, trustworthy and honest enough person to handle all of your Real Estate needs. I look forward to helping you realize YOUR dream of finding the perfect balance of selling your home and/or finding the perfect home for you!
