Why she loves working in real estate: I spend my days in the most extraordinary homes in the country—right here in South Florida—while working with accomplished and fascinating clientele from all over the world.

Proudest achievement: Working with a client who was named one of The Wall Street Journal’s Top 100 Sales Professionals. She told me I was a star in the real estate world—a compliment that meant the world to me.
Little-known fact: I can captain a boat of any size, from small cruisers to large yachts.
Current endeavors: I’m a committee member on the Tri-County Animal Rescue’s Annual Doggie Ball, the Junior League of Boca Raton and the Boca Raton Regional Hospital Foundation as well as a volunteer at the Debbie Rand Memorial Service League.
One wish: To see every shelter dog placed in a safe and loving home
