What is your hometown?
I am originally from Brewton, Alabama. My family has been coming
down to Destin for many years, well before I was born. I moved to
Destin from Birmingham, Alabama, because the beach has always
been my happy place, and I really wanted a simpler, more balanced
lifestyle. I had been coming to Destin my entire life, so it seemed to
me to be the perfect place to land.
What is your profession?
Vice President of Emerald Coast Title Services and Attorney for Hand,
Arrendall, Harrison Sale, both of which have offi ces ion 30A and Destin.
I work in both offi ces. I manage the 30A offi ce of ECTS. I practice
mainly in the areas of real estate, community association law, and
business/corporate law. I also serve as one of the Special Magistrates
for the City of Destin, Code Enforcement.
What led you to this profession?
Since I was a little girl, I always wanted to be an attorney – probably
because my father was a lawyer. My practice now perfectly fi ts the
location and allows me to blend real estate with law.
What do you like best about Destin?
Destin has grown so much since the days when I visited as a child. It is
great to see the rise of a quaint, historic fi shing village into a thriving
city with great cultural arts and philanthropic organization of which
people choose to make their primary residence (not to mention their
top vacation spot as just revealed by Southern Living!). What makes it
unique? The blend of exciting events, vast array of culinary off erings
and especially the people who care deeply about their community... all
set amidst the gorgeous backdrop of the Gulf of Mexico waters.
What are your biggest professional challenges?
Balancing work and family. Trying to dedicate myself to my company
and still have time to give back to my community which is very
important to me.
If someone wrote a biography about you, what do you think the
