A native of Philadelphia, the Florida Gulf Coast has been my home for almost 30 years. I've been immersed in the Sarasota-Manatee community for 26 of them.  After building a home and raising my daughter on Longboat Key, I got to know the ins and outs of island life and the beauty of coastal living.  The mainland is now my home.  Work, play, volunteering and family, including my mom's recent move to Bradenton, keeps me engaged all through the area. Sarasota and Manatee have experienced growth and change over the last couple of decades, as most places have. Our gorgeous beaches, nature preserves, access to year round outdoor activities and laid back coastal charm are still here. There's also a real community heartbeat and vibrancy.  We're fortunate to have local farms and fish fueling a creative food scene, arts and culture are abundant and year round. Communities from Parrish to Port Charlotte are thriving.  No place is perfect but this slice of the Suncoast has a lot to love and I'm happy to tell you all about it!

I enjoyed a long career in hotel management and marketing.  An opportunity to work with a children's game company brought me to Florida. Very different industries, but the fundamentals are the same: listening to your customer, anticipating needs and offering the very best service with integrity and honesty.
