Proudly affiliated with Coldwell Banker serving all of New Haven and Fairfield Counties Business Philosophy ~ Honesty, dedication and sincerity builds strong partnerships. Integrity and trust builds lifetime relationships.

Education and Training ~ After spending over 20 years as an IT Director, I made a 180 degree turn in 2003 when both my parents needed care.  I chose real estate as a full time career because it offered the flexibility I needed in my personal life.  I was very accustomed to corporate contract negotiation as well as contract legal ease so the most complex aspects of real estate were really fairly easy adjustments.  With my tech background, I was able to ride the real estate tech wave with ease and used my voiceover background to provide a bit of an added flair to my on line listings.  Never being afraid to be in front of an audience, I soon found myself teaching pre-licensing courses to new REALTORS® as well as Continuing Education courses to seasoned professionals.  The teaching aspect is incredibly important to me as it allows me to stay on top of the changing world of real estate and lending laws.

Personal Background ~ On my days off, I operate antique trolley cars.  I’ve also been spotted as the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus and the Great Pumpkin and love to make kids (and adults) laugh.  I’m also a voiceover artist and have done everything from commercials for Bombay Sapphire to corporate instructional videos for cement mixers.  I’ve even done a couple of infomercials.  I’m very involved with the Alzheimer’s Association and am a certified support group leader, speaker and the New Haven Walk To End Alzheimer's Committee.   Name a big band song, I can sing it cold; maybe that’s why I enjoy “sing a longs” with seniors.   Relaxation for me is restoring vintage and antique radios, phonographs, TV's and clocks.
