What is your profession?
Every day I wake up to what I love. For the past 23 years, my
life has been real estate. It is so rewarding to be part of the lives
of Buyers and Sellers, helping to make their goals and dreams
come true. Now, as a Branch Manager for Berkshire Hathaway
HomeServices Pen Fed Realty in downtown Pensacola, not only
do I still get to continue my passion as a Realtor, but my job now
includes recruiting new agents, providing a creative atmosphere,
coaching, and enhancing the agents’ productivity by showing
them what I have learned over the years.
What would people be most surprised to know about you?
That in my 20’s I was a professional ice skater with Holiday on Ice,
and traveled the world.
What one activity makes you lose track of time?
Focusing and searching for that perfect home for a Buyer or when
I sit and study the market making sure my Sellers get the best
fi nancial return on their current homes in the fastest amount of
time. This facilitates the process of them being able to purchase
their future home.
What is the best advice you ever received?
Never give up. There is a solution to every problem. The

Pensacola?
Go out and explore. Pensacola and the people who live here
