I grew up in Tampa, Florida, the 2nd of 4 sisters. I continued on to Atlanta, Ga for my education to be a Registered Nurse at Grady Memorical Hospital School of Nursing and Georgia State University. Upon graduation I met my husband, who was a young U.S. Army officer. We went on to lead a wonderful 28 year military life, and moved every 2 or 3 years. We lived in 10 States, Germany and Belgium. We raised three terrific sons, who have all now graduated from college and moved on to careers and children of their own.
I worked as a nurse as we moved from place to place. I also earned a BS in Business Administration from St. Thomas Aquinas College while we were stationed at West Point, NY. When my husband retired from the military as a Colonel in 1999, he took a job at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, AZ, but we decided to live in beautiful Sedona.
At that time, I decided I wanted a career change and chose to become a real estate agent. It has been a wonderful match for me as it uses many of the same skills I had developed in nursing, and has allowed me to continue helping people. My attention to detail and respect for legalities continue on as well. Real Estate requires much patience and long hours, but gives me great joy and brought wonderful & interesting new friends into my life.
We have lived in Sedona nine years now and I never take its beauty for granted. It attracts people from many different backgrounds and from all over the world. There are activities and interests for all to pursue here. It is welcoming to newcomers and always interesting. We have never regretted our decision to move here.
